One day a dentist was starting his morning work. Suddenly a man ran in. His face was red and he could only say “Quick! Quick!” The dentist thought he must be very ill. His assistant helped to make the poor man sit in a chair. The dentist gave the man some medicine to make him sleep. Then, he looked into the man’s mouth and pulled out all the bad teeth. As soon as the man woke up, he said in a low voice, “Quick, doctor, quick.”

“It’s all right now,” the dentist told him. “It’s over.”

“You don’t understand,” said the man, “I came to tell you your house is on fire.”

A woman was having some trouble with her heart, so she went to see a doctor. He was a new doctor, and did not know her, so he first asked some questions, and one of them was, “How old are you?” “Well,” she said, “I don’t remember, doctor, but I will try to think.” She thought for a moment and said, “Yes, I remember now, doctor! When I married, I was eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now my husband is sixty, I know, and that is twice thirty. So I am twice eighteen. That’s thirty-six, isn’t it?”
