Just as Well

A Scotsman went to a dentist with a toothache. The dentist told him he would only get relief by having it out.

“Then I must hae gas,” said the Scotsman.

While the dentist was getting it ready the Scot began to count his money.

The dentist said, somewhat testily, “You need not pay until the tooth is out.”

“I ken that,” said the Scotsman, “but as ye’re aboot to mak’ me unconscious I jist want to see hoo I stan’.”
