One sunny morning, a man and his wife find themselves in the somewhat sterile environment of a dentist’s office…
The couple is not known for their punctuality, and today is no different.
They arrive in a whirlwind, appearing a tad bit flustered and very much in a hurry…
The man, an avid golfer, addresses the dentist in an almost frantic tone, “Listen, doc, we’re really under the clock here… “
“I’ve got two of my best friends sitting out in my car. We’re due at the town’s most prestigious golf course for a 10 a.m. tee off.”
“It’s a long-cherished tradition, and we can’t be late… “
“Just take a look at the time, it’s already half past nine!”
He pauses for a moment, running his hand through his hair as he continues, “We’re cutting it too close… “
“I really don’t have the luxury of time to wait for the anesthetic to work.”
He bangs his fist on the arm of the dentist’s chair for emphasis and continues, “I’ve made up my mind. Just forget about the anesthetic… “
“Let’s get this over with, pull out the troublesome tooth quickly, and we’ll be on our way.”
The dentist is taken aback. This is the first time he has ever encountered such a request…
The man must surely possess a remarkably high pain threshold to volunteer for a tooth extraction without any painkillers.
Intrigued and slightly impressed, the dentist decides to proceed…
As for the man’s request, however, he needs to know which tooth is the culprit.
So, the dentist asks, “Which tooth is causing the discomfort, sir?”
Without missing a beat, the man turns to his wife and says…
“Open your mouth, honey, and show him.”
