Oh boy, I can’t feel my face. Three hours in a dentist’s chair. It went something like this:
Dentist: okay we’re going to fill this cavity now. (buzzing of drill)
BooMan: I don’t like the sound of that.
Dentist: (laughing) No one does.
BooMan: (grimaces)
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
BooMan: (white hot flashes of nerve pain)
Dentist: I’m barely touching you.
BooMan: (drooling)
(half hour interlude while more anesthetic kicks in)
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Dentist: this hole is really big, let me see the x-rays again….
Dentist: I think this is going to require a root canal. I should have realized this before we got started.
BooMan: (to myself) Oh fuck (panic) (out loud) Oh Jesus. Are you going to do that now?
Dentist: oh no, we don’t do molars here, you’ll need a referral.
