A fearless killer and dead shot, Clay Allison was suffering from a severe toothache. After riding two hundred miles, Allison found a dentist, who quickly pulled a tooth.
When the ache didn't go away, Allison visited another dentist who observed, "Why, he pulled the wrong tooth!" The second dentist pulled the right tooth, and the ache was soon gone.
Allison celebrated with whiskey and returned to the office of the first dentist. Without saying a word, he grabbed him, flung him to the floor, and yanked out a molar and several front teeth.
When he finished, he threw the forceps to the floor and asked, "How do you like your own medicine?"
