dirty jokes

Earlier this week, we had a retired orthodontist, Dr. L, in the chair as a patient. I've met him before, and he's very old school and sweet. He told a joke to Dr S:

"A woman goes into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for a bottle of arsenic. He tells her he can't sell her arsenic. The woman opens her purse and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist says, "Oh! I didn't know you had a prescription!""

I thought is was pretty funny! Dr. L didn't realize that I was also in the room and had overheard him tell the joke, and he immediately became embarrassed. He told me he was sorry and that he never would have told that joke if he knew I had been in the room!

I was NOT offended by the joke at all; I thought it was funny. I think it was even funnier at how embarrassed he was! So old school and proper!

Then he told me I had nice teeth and the orthodontist who did my braces did a good job.
