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..."

What do you call a guy who makes braces for a living until the earth gets destroyed? Arthur Dentist. Badum-tsssh.You know, I still have a milk tooth in a little packet somewhere. Just in case I ever want a voodoo doll of myself - well, you never know.
Incidentally (no pun intended... indented? Sorry, I'll stop, really I will.), what's up with all those shiny tools on the tray? Are there really that many different things you can do to teeth that they need to stick half a gear-box in there? I, personally, think dentists just have this big instrumental arms race going.
"Oh ho - you have a miniature drill AND bigger pliers than me, Doctor Stanislavsky? Well see how you feel about this INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH DWARVISH CORKSCREW, pal! It's got a six-cylinder engine! What do they think of THAT behind the Iron Curtain*?"
I swear I wouldn't be surprised to see a little Flux Capacitor in that tray - oh, that? It's sort of like an undo button, you know, malpractice lawsuits these days...
*In Soviet Russia, by the way, not only does tooth pull you, but also dentist has a terrible phobia of patients.
