Once in 1979, when in Malaysia, Mahan had a very severe tooth-ache and needed extraction of a tooth. After some coaxing we took him to a well known Dentist in Jalan Ipoh. When Mahan sat in the Dentist chair, Mahan put his fingers in his mouth and himself pulled out the decayed tooth. It was a hilarious moment for all of us then.The Dentist amused with the whole incident then appled some antiseptic and did not charge anything at all. Mahan then autographed a copy of I-GOD and presented it to the Dentist.
