As the dentist came into the room of his next patient, an elderly lady, he noticed she was looking very nervous so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves.
"Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked.
"No, I don’t," she replied.
"Well," he spoofed, "there’s a building in China with a big tank of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands, let them dry, and then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size."
She didn’t crack a smile.
"Oh, well, I tried," he thought.
But about five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the dental procedure, she burst out laughing.
"What is so funny?" he asked.
"I was just picturing how condoms are made!" she said.
