Snippet:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were watching the telly when we decided to rob the dentist.<\/p>\n

“The dentist?” I asked my brother.<\/p>\n

“Sure, why not?” was his reply. “Do you know how much money goes through a dental surgery in a day? It’s obscene. If the prime minister was a dentist, the country wouldn’t be in the state it’s in right now, I tell you. There’d be no unemployment, no racism, no sexism. Just money.”<\/p>\n
