OK, here goes....

"hurtee" is supposed to be the way a Chinaman says "hurt", in his accent.

Oh ! Thanks !

So "tooth hurtee" sounds the same as "two-thirty", or 1430 if you prefer,

Yes, I've understood.

and so "tooth-hurtee" is the time at which a Chinaman apparently visits an
English dentist because his tooth hurts.

There are loads of jokes like this which play on the English language and
its vagaries.

OK
