Dentist: I have to pull the tooth. Do you want novocaine or gas?
Patient: Neither. Just pull the damn tooth.
D: I can't do that. The pain will be too great.
P: Pull the damn tooth. Twice in my life I felt such severe pain that now nothing bothers me.
The dentist pulled the tooth and the man never flinched.
D: I know that had to hurt. Tell me about the pain you experienced that makes you impervious to pain.
P: The first time I was in the mountains hunting and I got sharp stomach cramps. So I dropped my drawers and squatted down. What I didn't know was that I was over a bear trap. The trap sprung and caught my testicles.
D: Wow! That hurts me just to think about it. When was the second time?
P: When I ran out of chain.
