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..."

Old golferA prior dentist of mine became increasingly weird, which on reflection I put down to the fact he was 75 years old...
He would spend the morning of the 2 days a week he chose to work going over the appointment list of who he was supposed to see that week and cross out the names of anyone he didn't fancy seeing. Thus leaving the receptionist to phone and make last minute cancellations.
After one unpleasant drilling session my mouth felt drier than an arabs arse so I attempted to ask for a drink of water by miming the universal hand gesture of drinking from a cup.
"A drink?" says my dentist.
I nod enthusiastically.
"Well it's a bit early in the day but I suppose I could manage a quick one." he replies.
Can you believe it, the old sod thought I wanted to take him to the pub! Like I'd have money left after supporting his golf playing, jaguar driving lifestyle!
