The man said to the dentist, Doc, I m in one heck of a hurry I have two buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf, so forget about the anesthetic, I don t have time for the gums to get numb. I just want you to pull the tooth and be done with it We have a 10:00 am tee-off time at the best golf course in town and It s already 9:30.. I don t have time to wait for the anesthetic to work The dentist thought to himself, My goodness this is surely a very brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain. So the dentist asks him, Which tooth is it sir? He turned to his wife and said, Open your mouth Honey, and show him. 7
