A guy and a girl meet in a bar and end up going to the girl’s place. The guy takes off his jacket and then goes and washes his hands. He then takes his shirt off and again washes his hands.
The girl says “I bet you are a dentist”. He replies “yes, how did you know”. The girl says “because you wash your hands so much”. After a while the girl commented that she knows for sure that her companion is a dentist. Interested he asks her how she came to that conclusion. She replied, “I never felt a thing”.
