A woman is in a dentists chair, she is very nervous and the dentist tells her a little joke to put her at her ease.
Do you know how these rubber gloves are made? he says, showing her the latex gloves in his hand.
She looks at him and the gloves and replies, no.
Well, he said, there is a large vat of the rubber mixture with dozens of low paid workers sitting around it dipping their hands into the mixture and letting it dry. That's how we get gloves of different sizes.
Oh, she says, still very nervous.
The dentist can see that the joke didn't go down and puts his gloves on and starts to prepare his equipment. He realizes that the woman is now smiling.
Did you like my little joke he asks.
Not really, she said, but I did start to wonder how they make condoms.
