DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

my learned friend leglessmakes a well-reasoned but inherently limited point that reminds one of that appalling joke:
Four researchers are travelling up to Edinburgh from London. Out the train window they see a black sheep grazing on the hillside.
"Look," says the parapsychologist, "all the sheep in Scotland are black."
The biologist says, "No, we can only say at least one of the sheep in Scotland is black.
"No, says the physicist, "the most we can say is that one of the sheep in Scotland is black on one side."
But the mathematician has the last word:
"One of the sheep in Scotland is black on one side — some of the time."
Or in other words, just because this humpty is an egg doesn't prove they are all eggs...
bring on the new QOTW quick quick i just bored myself to death but you can save yourselves...
