A man and his wife walked into a dentist’s office one morning.
The wife went straight to the front desk and said, “I need a tooth pulled, and I don’t want any gas or Novocain.”
The receptionist looked surprised, and a few minutes later, the dentist called them in.
The wife sat down confidently and repeated, “Doctor, I’m in a terrible hurry. No painkillers, no injections, no waiting. Just pull the tooth as quickly as possible.”
The dentist stared at her in amazement.
“That is very brave of you,” he said. “Most people ask for as much pain relief as possible.”
The woman shrugged. “I don’t have time for all that. Just get it done.”
The dentist nodded, impressed by her courage.
“Well then,” he said, putting on his gloves, “show me which tooth needs to come out.”
The wife turned calmly toward her husband and said:
“Open your mouth and show the dentist which tooth it is, dear.”
