Joke of the Day
A dentist, after completing work on a patient, came to him and asked, “Could you help me? Could you give out a few of your loudest, most painful screams?”
The surprised patient said, “Why doctor, it wasn’t all that bad this time!”
The dentist replied, “There are so many people in the waiting room right now, and I don’t want to miss the four o’clock train.”
