Dental Torment
(Note: This was not an assigned topic.)
Patients arise! You have nothing to lose but your pains!
I have a new dentist. I’ve visited his office several times recently so he knows I’m always ready for silly banter.
"Have you missed me?" he asked, pleased as he approached the chair with his joke that someone could miss seeing the dentist.
"So much that I’d turn gay for you."
He was flummoxed with embarrassment and immediately I knew I had a fish on the hook.
"Don’t tell anyone you said that," he implored, as the nurse giggled from behind the chair.
"I was going to put it in the Port Jeff Times."
"Whatever you do, don’t mention me by name."
"I would never do that. By the way, how exactly do you spell Nicastro?"
