This story has been circulating here in Jeddah as a joke, although people who knew the Filipino character in this story say it was an actual case. Joke or not, this could start your day with a smile. Here's the story.
A Filipino went to a dentist to have his aching tooth pulled. The dentist, an Indian, told him to come back the following day after giving him medicine to make the swelling subside.
The following day the dentist pull one of his molars. The following day the Filipino discovered that the dentist extracted a wrong tooth.
"Doctor, you pulled out the wrong molar yesterday," he complained.
"No problem," the dentist said reassuringly.
"We will extract the right molar this time."

A little too real
This is not a joke but start your day with a smile.
New Zealand school skeleton turns out to be real
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — An anatomy lesson nearly got a little too authentic in New Zealand when an elementary school teacher found that the skeleton she was about to show her class wasn't plastic. It was a real human skeleton.
The local Northern Advocate newspaper says school principal Bastienne Kruger stopped the lesson, called in the police and handed over the boxed skeleton. Officials are scratching their heads over what to do next.
Experts from the Historic Places Trust believe the bones were professionally preserved a century ago or more when skeleton trading was common.
The bones appear to be from a small man who lived in India or China. Nobody knows how long the skeleton has been at the Totara North elementary school, which opened in 1852 on New Zealand's North Island.
This happened last month.

Points to ponder
1. The road to success is always under construction.
That's the reason why we never cease to dream.
2. Telling a baby not to cry is like teaching a pig
how to sing. It's a waste of time.
3. Every wife is a "mistress" of her husband. "Missed"
for a while and "stressed" for the rest of the day.
4. Time is a great healer but a lousy beautician. I found
that out when I met a college classmate who broke my heart.
5. When my friend told her class that there was no Internet
when she was still a student, one of her students asked her,
"How did you manage to live?"
She replied: "That's the same question I asked when my
mom told me there was no shampoo and diaper in her time."

The bridge
A priest was assigned to a small town.
When he took the confession of the residents one Saturday afternoon, he noticed that many made very long confessions about their having committed adultery because they were ashamed to go directly to the point.
To make their confessions on elicit affairs short, he advised them to just use a code - "I fell from the bridge". Soon that code became institutionalized.
Five years later, the priest was replaced by another prelate whom he forgot to brief about the code.
On his first Saturday, the new priest received confessions from the residents and was surprised to hear some of them telling him about falling from a bridge.
Thinking that the residents were complaining about an unrepaired bridge, he went to see the town mayor about it.
The mayor laughed when he heard the prelate's concern and decided to pull a joke on the man of piety.
"When you hear such a complaint again, father," the mayor said. "please tell them that I am still raising funds for the repair of the bridge."
The priest assured him that he would do as he was told. When the priest was about to leave, he suddenly remembered.
"Mayor, be sure to raise the fund at once," the priest entreated the town official.
"Why the sudden rush, father?" the mayor asked with a wide grin.
"It's for the sake of your wife," said the priest.
"I remember that she told me at the confessional last Saturday that she also fell from that bridge."
