Visit to the Dentist

Went to see the dentist the other day. Agenda of the day is to drill holes into my teeth, then fill them up again. He asked me if I wanted an injection. I said, what for? He said, to lessen the pain. Come again?! You want to plunge a syringe into my gums so that it won't hurt? Is that a trick question?

I'm thinking, the injection will definitely hurt, even if for a bit. Drilling away those cavities might hurt. Then again, it might not. Question is, which one will hurt more?

Rather than have blood spilt, I told the dentist to just skip the injection. I'm a sucker for pain, and the dentist proceeded to indulge me.
