Doctor: We're going to administer the acupuncture anesthesia now, sir. Duke: I don't suppose there's any point discussing it... Doctor: Mr. Duke, let me assure you, you have nothing to fear. All we will do is insert a few needles into your leg and side, and connect them to a low voltage current.... you will feel some vibration and a slight numbness, but acupuncture produces no real pain. Duke: Oh, yeah! How's it work? Doctor: No one really knows. Duke: Great.
