Epic comedy!  I laugh myself silly whenever I watch this (or anything from the Carol Burnett show).,

Once, when I was very poor,  used to go for free treatment to a dental school.  The quid pro quo was that you were treated by students under supervision.  One morning I went in by appointment for an extraction to find a nervous-looking student as white as a sheet.  ‘Is this your first extraction?’ I asked.  ‘Yes’ he croaked.  God gave me a moment of grace because I heard myself say in an upbeat way:  ‘I am sure you will do splendidly.’  With that he relaxed - and with a remarkable amount of tugging the tooth came out.  There was no pain.  However, over the next two days the extraction site continued to bleed, and when I returned to the hospital for help they were alarmed and said they would test me for leukaemia.  Goodness, I thought, this must be something high-tech.  Turned out they just slashed my thumb and timed the clotting.  Normal, they said, and then packed something into the hole where my tooth had been to stop the bleeding.  I went home thinking how odd the whole thing had been.
