DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

Butcher Bench ...was the nickname of our old dentist Mr Bench, who was one of the old school, through anaesthetic was sissy and once broke somebody's jaw with the drill. My sister ran away from home when she had an appointment with him. Then we changed to another dentist who gave me so much anaesthetic for an extraction that I couldn't be woken for four hours. However, the current dentist, who is the spitting image of John Cleese, is totally painless, although with an unfortunately posh bedside (chairside?) manner, referring to the teeth as little chaps, such as, have the little chaps been behaving themselves lately? And if he sticks some pointy thing into the gum and causes blood to spurt everywhere, ah, we seem to have made the gum a little angry there ... rinse please.
