Yeah, I think it’s been made abundantly clear that I can’t.

RE: joke time
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem: a number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back.
Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man….
She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers, and then there are educators…

A dentist.

Untrue, and unfair. 

Sorry (not sorry) to be a fuddy-duddy on this.  After achieving a four-year university degree in a related field, aspiring dentists also attend (and must pass) medical school.  They then obtain clinical experience (like a residency) and then must pass board certification tests.  "DDS" after their names designates that they have satisfactorily completed the aforementioned requirements for their certification.  They are called "Doctor", because they are indeed, doctors.

I'm a bit sensitive on this topic, as I have dentists in my family.

A better joke is:

What do you call someone who graduates at the bottom of their class in medical school?

"Doctor".

That’s not an always thing. No idea how in works in the US, but dentists in most Commonwealth countries don’t always go to medical school - they get their undergraduate degree, then go to dental school. They’re also called ‘Mr’ or ‘Ms’, not ‘Dr’.

In fact, here in NZ, dentists - by law - cannot call themselves ‘doctor’ unless they have (in addition to a dental degree) a medical degree or a PhD.

In the States, "DDS" means "Doctor of Dental Surgery".  They can do surgery (in the mouth), and prescribe drugs. Here, dental school *is* medical school...specialized for dentists.  It's beyond me why dentists get so little respect for what they've accomplished, and what they do.

I also don't understand why the mouth is treated separately, when it comes to the practice of medicine.  It's even covered by separate insurance policies.  Last time I checked, the mouth is also part of our body...

It’s even more extreme here - national health covers everything EXCEPT dental. Broken arm? You’re covered. Need flu meds? Covered. Need a tooth pulled? You either have private dental insurance or pay out of pocket.

I'm seeing more and more chinks in the NHS' greatness. Not like I claim that the US has the market cornered there, btw.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Ozzy Osbourne said he did not pay a nickle for a mouth full of implants - all covered by NHS...
