The Dentist
I went to the Dentist yesterday and got my teeth cleaned. I always find it interesting sitting in that chair with four hands in my mouth. They always give me a pair of glasses to put on - you know for the overspray or flying plaque or whatever. Yesterday they were sunglasses - at least I get to look cool while I'm lying there.
I have a great dentist though - and he alwyas has these in-depth conversations with the hygienest. The cool thing is, he always adresses me first and prefaces his conversations, fills me in on all the pre-details - then has his conversation with her. Isn't that nice? - he wants me to fill included while I'm lying there mouth stretched open, a water hose, vacuum, mirror and pick axe all forced inside.
Yesterday, they discussed global warming. It sucked, because I had lots of questions, but since he had his entire tool box in my mouth it was impossible to ask any of them. I was thinking about it - and it must be great to be him. You can project all of your opinions and beliefs on some innocent unknowing victim and they can't say a thing about it for fear of getting their tongue chopped off with the pick axe and then sucked down a vacuum hose.
He further discussed his programmable thermostat at home, he prefaced that as well - he has had it for several years and has never touched it aside from moving it from heat to cool and vice-versa; however, Monday morning it was really hot and the temperature was not at all what it was programmed to be. He had no clue how to fix it and was getting instructions from the hygienest on how to program it. The information she was giving him was completely wrong, and I so wanted to interject and correct just a few wayward instructions, but to my dismay it came out as "ahhaahh ya rahl ooh i oah arr". He raised an eyebrow, and nodded in agreement as if he completely understood and continued accepting the highly inaccurate instruction. What could I do? I bet he's still hot.
In all, it was a good visit, and my teeth are silky smooth - I keep running my tongue over them, bad things is I've had a few people think I was hitting on them! JUST KIDDING!
By the way - what does quixotic mean? I'm off to look it up.
