They sometimes say that the two things in life that are sure are “death and taxes.” Although that may be true, you can also add going to the dentist to that list as well. Yes, we can always avoid going to the dentist and many of us do but sooner or later, you will be in a situation where dental assistance is necessary. It seems as if the man in the following joke needed such help, but he wasn’t willing to accept it in the way that it was available. In the end, the dentist came up with a hilarious solution.
A man goes to a female dentist to have a tooth extracted. She pulls out a large syringe to give him an anesthesia shot.
“No way, no needles! I hate needles!” the man exclaims
So she starts to hook up the nitrous oxide tank, and the man says, “I can’t do the gas thing either. Just the thought of having a mask on my face suffocates me!”
The dentist then asks the patient if he had any objections to taking a pill. “No,” he says, “I’m fine with pills.” So the lady dentist gives him two little blue pills and he swallows them. “What are those?” he asks. “Viagra,” she calmly replies.
“I’ll be damned,” said the man, “I didn’t know Viagra works as a pain killer.”
“It doesn’t,” says the wise lady, “But it’ll give you something to hold on to when I pull your tooth.”
