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..."

I'd nearly wrapped up my 4 years...and was due to begin Terminal Leave from the US Navy in a few days. 'Twas the formality then, to experience the joy called "Final Dental" in which the new Dentist, a fresh-out-of-OCS Ensign, would poke and prod and ask why you avoided the services of the Dentists that preceeded him.
This ghit, who quite probabaly couldn't even spell "sea duty" proceeded to grill me about my tour of duty.
"mrphlegurphal burganurble megurglenanurphul", was about the extent of my part of the discussion.
"So why are they kicking you out of the Navy then?" the En-swine asked.
"That's what they do to people who aren't gullible enough to re-up."
Damned butter-bar exemplified everything that was wrong with the Navy back then - and I understand it's only gotten worse.
