• Miss Peppitone - Patient : [nervously]  You won't hurt my leg, will you? My doctor says I have a very bad leg.

  Dentist : [looking at her shapely leg]  Your doctor is off his nut. I don't believe in doctors anyway. There's a doctor lives right down the street here. Treated a man for yellow jaundice for nine years - then found out he was a Jap.

• Dentist : Shall I use gas?

  Miss Peppitone - Patient : [nervously]  Well, gas or electric light. I'd feel nervous to have you fool around me in the dark.

• Dentist : A dog bit you?

  Miss Peppitone - Patient : Yes. It was a little dachshund. What a little tiny dog.

  [bends over, backside to the Dentist] 

  Miss Peppitone - Patient : He sneaked right up behind me and he bit me right like that.

  [pointing to her ankle] 

  Miss Peppitone - Patient : And I was standing with my back to him and here he was, this little dog, who bit me - right - here!

  Dentist : [looking at her backside]  You're rather fortunate that it wasn't a Newfoundland dog that bit you.

• Miss Peppitone - Patient : [screams]  Oh, Doctor! I can't let you do that again!

  [hurries out of the room moaning]
