I was waiting in Dr. Percy Hailey Martingale's office for a little painless dentistry, and I took Wilfred's poem and passed him a two-bit piece, and Doc Martingale does the same, and Wilfred blew on to the next office.
"All you got to have is the tents and the Japs and the Willie-off-the-yacht togs." He sighed. "There ought to be some advantages," he concluded, "to drag a man so far from the street lights." "Then this isn't much of a pleasure trip?" asked Bob with some amusement. "Pleasure, hell!" snorted Painless, helping himself to a drink.
Volunteers came up two by two. Painless explained obscurely the scientific principles on which the marvelous Oxodyne worked by severing temporarily but entirely all communication between the nerves and the brain. Then much business with a very glittering syringe. "My lord," chuckled Baker, "if he fills that thing up, it'll drown her!"

Pigeons, she supposed, had been specially created by Providence for our use and enjoyment 'their final cause being apparently the manufacture of pigeon-pie, Ronald suggested parenthetically: but we couldn't use them without killing them, unfortunately; and shooting was probably as painless a form of killing as any other.
Then, without the least warning, I was rolled over and over, and then set upon my head! but a loud cry outside drowned a smothered cry within; and I was placed in a horizontal position again, with feelings impossible to describe.
