He put his thing in my mouth for a LONG time

[fuzzygruf]

Went to the dentist at lunch and got a new crown. (Ok, a temp crown until the porcelain one is ready.) Egads. He gives me 3 shots of novocaine. Wait several minutes. Lips/tongue numb? Nope. Three more shots, more waiting. Anything? No change. He finally has to drill into my jawbone to insert anaesthetic there. I'll be numb all day. Especially after I got the bill. Seems he had to drill forever. I started off anxious, but in the end I was bored.

He asked if I wanted gold or something tooth-colored. "You don't want something shiny in your mouth?" I replied, "Not unless it's some guy's PA."

I believe that the Sainted Bette has a song about her dentist, called “The Dr. Longjohn Blues” and it may be appropriate here to remember her wise words:

I went to my dentist and told him
I've got pain, doctor, I've got pain
He said it it's just your cavity that needs a little drilling
He took out his trusty drill
He told me to open wide
He said he wouldn't hurt me
But he filled my whole inside
Oh Dr Longjohn Dr Longjohn Dr Longjohn
Oh you thrill me when you drill me
And I don't need no novocaine today

When he was done, he said
Miss M, that's going to cost you ten
(I was prepared to pay 20)
But when you get that pain
You come see Dr Longjohn again
Oh Dr Longjohn Dr Longjohn Dr Longjohn
Don't you ever go away

I'm sitting here laughing in Hysterics. That is such a Gary comment. I love it.

We talked about you today. We were talking about the gay marriages and he said that he saw one of his patients on the news. I said that you had been all over the news, but he said it was a different patient.

Nice to know that he put his PA in your mouth. I didn't even know that he had such jewelry. Great! Good job, Jack!

Careful... the wrong PA and you could be back in the dentist chair having a chipped tooth fixed! :)
