I nicked this joke from a
post in the
Twin Peaks community...
A Buddhist monk walks into the dentist office with a horrible tooth ache. The dentist takes a look and goes "Man that looks bad! We'll have to pull that right away!"
The monk, who is doing a good job of hiding his pain goes "I understand, go right ahead, I just have one request, don't use any anesthetic."
"What?! Are you mad? You you've already got to be in a lot of pain . . . to pull it out with out pain killers would be excruciating!"
"Yes, I know, I but I'm trying to transcend dental medication."
