| Paddy, suffering from a severe toothache, finally got up enough nerve to visit his dentist, but lost it again when he was about to get into the chair. The dentist told his assistant to give Paddy a shot of whiskey kept on hand for just such circumstances as this. "Ye got your courage back now?" the dentist asked. "No!" replied Paddy. So a second shot was brought, then a third. "Now have ye got your courage?" asked the dentist. "You're damn right!" Paddy said, squaring his shoulders. "I'd like to see the bastard who'd dare to touch my teeth now!" |
