The Dalai Lama


Recently the esteemed Tibetan spiritual leader The Dalai Lama had a raging toothache and walked to his local dentist to get an emergency filling. Although old and  frail, he walked often, and in keeping with his monastic, asethic lifestyle he walked barefoot, as evidenced by the thickness of the dry skin on the soles of his feet. It is for this reason he is referred to in the tea rooms of Tipton as the "super-calloused fragile mystic vexed by halitosis."
Spiritual or Political Buddies?

When the Dentist inspected the Dalai Lama's tooth, and said he could fill the cavity immediately with the use of pain killing Novocain, the Dalai Lama declined,  saying he wanted to "transcend dental medication."
