favorite joke
“Open wider.” requested the dentist, as he began his examination of the patient.
“Good God !” he said startled. “You’ve got the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen – the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen.”
“OK Doc !” replied the patient. “I m scared enough without you saying something like that twice.”
“I didn’t !” said the dentist. “That was the echo.”
