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..."

Dunno if anyone remembers......but a few months ago an author wrote about his great uncle, a dentist. This was my dad's dentist when he was a young 'un.
Apparently he was once a right-handed dentist, then his arm was injured in WWII, so had to be amputated. Instead of give up, he just learnt to practise dentistry with his other hand.
According to me old man he was a fantastic dentist too, cos even my grandma was impressed by his 1337 gnasher removing skillz.
