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..."

Nerves, steel etc.I needed a root canal but being short on cash I went to the local dental college for the work. It was also the day my divorce was final, so I felt it apt. Imagine the height of eyebrow when I arrive to find ex-Mr. also at the dental college, also for a root canal. I advised my dentist-in-training that me and the ex were celebrating our divorce with root canals all 'round. He must have found it amusing and diverting, because it took him seven tries to dig the exposed nerve out of the root. How we laughed.
