Just that. Then back into the office.

A certified bad-ass he was, too.

you can't be short and say something like that while grinning and smoking, it wouldn't work.

edit: it would work but the subject would have to be, in addition to short, very round and merry, yet sinister, and preferably the possessor of a voice made raspy by years of said smoking.

Every tooth in a man's head is more valuable than a diamond. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote


This has never been more clear to me than when paying for dental work.

As for this litany of cruel dentists...

Y'all need to move to smaller towns. If a dentist treated me like that, the next time I saw him at the liquor store I'd crack a bottle of Patron on the back of his head. Small towns create their own kind of accountability.

I did this yesterday. Then this happens to the bridge that I ran over.

Josef K, you are so fat that when you go jogging you cause structural failures in high-tension bridges!

Since today's theme is dentistry.

I went to the dentist today. The girl wouldn't let me see the dentist because I didn't have the £180 I owe from last year.

Fair enough but why give me the fucking appointment and make me take two hours off work that I won't get paid for?

Bastards.


Now I have to find a third dentist (I already left one with outstanding bills). I'm like some kind of rotten-toothed outlaw.

The dentist I went to only charged me 150 bucks for some reason. He quoted me '300 for me to rip the thing out, 750 for a root canal'

Uh, yes I'll be taking the first option, sir....

Anyway, he did his butchery and I went out front and she says 'That will be 150'

I did not argue. Pretty reasonable, I think.

Hey, I ran yesterday during lunchtime, too!

At work today, I won a free trip to Las Vegas in March. All expenses are paid, I get to take my fiancee, and we are getting put up in the Wynn Hotel.

I'm not that into Vegas, but am more than willing go there for free.

Seriously, there's no reason you shouldn't have a great time.
