He Almost Made it on Broadway
Yesterday as I sat in the dentist's chair with my mouth wide open and the Dental Cleaner Lady scraping off the plaque, I heard someone singing in the next room over. Like, to Bette Midler or whatever craptastic musak they had playing. And since I wear my emotions on my face, the Dental Cleaner Lady must've seen my shock and confusion because we had the following exchange:
Dental Cleaner Lady: He [dentist] sings.
Me: Uhhh?
DCL: Yeah. Sings.
Me: Like, all the time?
DCL: Yep. Like ALL THE TIME.
Me: Wow. I, uh...
DCL: And sometimes dances.
At this point she had to remove the sharp tool from my mouth because we were both laughing so hard, my gums and teeth were in danger. You know how sometimes you are laughing so hard and then finally you kinda get it together and so does the other person but then one of you kinda chuckles and then all is lost once again? Yeah. It was like that. But then she assured me that he probably wouldn't sing during my exam. You know, since this was the first time we were meeting and all.

I am so glad I don't have a dentist who sings. Despite the inherent humor in such a situation.
How professional.
That's my favorite kind of laughter!
I would gladly have had a signing dentist over the toothbreaker of a dentist I had growing up. Less fear and scarring that way.
and I would have taking a singing dentist too! :P
Anything to make the scraping more bearable, eh?
When my dentist took out my wisdom teeth, he asked the assistant to put on the Crash Test Dummies CD. I thought that was the most random request ever, especially considering that CD was almost 10 years old at the time.
Ha! I would have asked him to perform his best number. I love to see people's hidden talents.
HA HA HA! That's pretty hilarious. A singing and dancing dentist. I kinda wish I was there...
Hilarious! Thanks for stopping by my blog - I have you bookmarked for daily reading now. Keep it up!
