He had a great sense of humor, but I suspect most of his patients didn't. After my x-rays revealed a lack of wisdom teeth I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Well, no wonder I'm so stupid!" Both he and his assistant started to tell me there was no connection between IQ and wisdom teeth before they realized I was joking. After that, I always got at least one good laugh at every appointment
