I’ve been going to the same dentist since I was a kid.  He used to intimidate me when I was young, and that didn’t really change as an adult.  It’s only in the last year I’ve realized he is a little off.  I appreciate that.

A few conversation highlights between him, my not at all sarcastic hygienist Traci and me:

TRACI: Are you ready to see Debbie Downer?

DR. H: Debbie? ? I thought her name was Linda.

****

DR. H: Traci’s a real be-atch.

TRACI: Do you even know what that means?

DR.H: No.

****

TRACI: What about the holes in his front teeth?

DR. H: Yes, we’ll have to pull those.

ME: Very funny….you are joking right??

****

TRACI: My patient has to leave soon.

DR. H: So which of his teeth are you going to clean?

****

DR. H: Do you lift weights?

ME: Yes I do.

DR. H: I can tell because you’re built like me.

ME: Hahahahaha

DR. H: Why is that funny?
