THIS IS ONE BRAVE MONK!
A Buddhist monk was having terrible dental pain. He went to the dentist, who said a root canal was necessary. The monk agreed, but he refused Novocain. The dentist explained that it would be a painful procedure. Again, the monk refused.

He said he wanted to transcend dental medication! :rolleyes: :p ;) :D
 
A notorious punster was sentenced to be hung for crimes against the language. Given one last chance to repent, he looked up, then said, "No noose is good news." They hung him.
:D
 
my first root canal, the endo didn't give me enough novocain. I remember feeling the drill go deeper and deeper into the tooth and bam...

if he can go through the procedure absolutely still, good for him. enduring it but having the dentist screw up because he moved to much... well... it'll be the gift that keeps on giving.
 
There was this guy who went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled.

First off the dentist said, "I'll give you a shot to numb your jaw."

But the guy said, "No, please don't do that, I'm afraid of needles."

The dentist said, "OK, I'll get out the gas to put you to sleep."

However the guy said, "Nope, I'm allergic to the gas."

So the dentist said, "Just a minute, I'll go look for something else."

After awhile he came back with a couple of pills.

The guy asked, "What kind of pills are those?"

The dentist said, "Viagra."

The guy said, "WHAT! Why Viagra?"

The dentist said, "They won't help the pain, but they'll give you something to hang on to while I pull your tooth"
 
Nice. :)

I have a dentist who doesn't understand how to use Novocaine. He's a family friend and a nice guy, so I can't really leave him (God help me), but he's not too good. Every time I get a cavity, I tell him to maybe to a little heavy on the anesthetic, but without fail, he'll give me a little in the wrong place and a few seconds later, BAM, there's the nerve! I'll tell him, as kindly as I can muster, while resisting the intense instinct to deck him in the face, that he might need to give me a little more. It's gotten to the point that I just dread his office...Funny, because I never had a problem with the Dentist until I went to him...

The moral of the story? Anesthetics are almost as good a puns... :D :)

Here's another punny one...


A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer.

The bartender approaches and says, "We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings."

The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer.

The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, "We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings."

The bear, very angry now, says, "If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting! at the end of the bar."

The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings"

The bear goes to the end of the bar, and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer.

The bartender states, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs."

The bear says, "I'm NOT on drugs."

The bartender says, "You are now. That was a bar-bitch-you-ate".
 
If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of millions of foreheads being slapped simultaneously.

He said he wanted to transcend dental medication!

After he had the root canal taken care of, he felt so good he stopped by a street vendor to buy a hot dog.

The vendor asked him how he wanted it, and the monk told him "Make me one with everything."

What did the Monk say when the hot dog vendor asked him if he had change?

" Change must come from within."
 
Four monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping.
The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping"
A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping"
A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping."
The fourth monk who was the eldest said: "Mouths are flapping!"
 
Why can't Buddhists vacuum under their sofa's?

Because they have no attachments...
 
A monk was driving in India when suddenly a dog crosses the road. The car hit and killed the dog. The monk looked around and seeing a temple, went to knock on the door. A monk opened the door. The first monk said: "I'm terribly sorry, but my karma ran over your dogma."
