Here is an apt joke from a retired dentist
> A man went to the dental surgeon to have a tooth pulled. The dentist
> pulls out a freezing needle to give him. "No way and no needles. I hate
> needles!" the patient says. The dentist starts to hook up the
> laughing gas and the man again objects.
> "I can't do the gas thing - the thought of having the gas mask
> on is suffocating to me! The dentist then asks if the man has any
> objection to taking a pill.
> "No," the patient says, "I am fine with pills". The dentist then returns
> and says, "Here is a Viagra tablet." The patient says,
> "Wow - I didn't know Viagra worked as a pain killer!" "It
> doesn't," says the dentist "but it will give you something to hold
> onto when I pull out your tooth!"
