The dentist begins setting up the nitrous oxide when the man quickly objects.
“No way! I can’t handle the gas.
Just the thought of wearing a mask makes me feel like I’m suffocating!”
The dentist nods and asks,
“Would you be okay taking a pill instead?”
“Sure, I’m fine with pills,”
the patient replies.
A moment later, the dentist returns and hands him a pill.
“Here’s a Viagra.”
Surprised, the patient exclaims,
“Viagra? I didn’t know that was a painkiller!”
“It’s not,” the dentist grins.
“But it’ll give you something to hold on to when I pull your tooth.”
