Dental Appointments.
« on: March 04, 2011, 08:13:31 PM »
I had a check-up at the dentist's today. Everything was okay so I was asked to make another appointment for around six months time with the secretary. She tapped at the computer for a few seconds and then asked " How's Friday the Fourth of November at four o' clock?" Now, all I wanted to say was "I have no *!*!*!* idea. I might have a cold. The DENTIST might have a cold! I might be dead! The DENTIST might be dead! Maybe dentistry will have been declared an illegal medical practice, staffed by over-charging charlatans! Maybe the world will have ended!"
What I actually said was "That's fine".

Get yourself some kind of organiser so you have the answer to these kinds of questions ready.

Good job she didn't offer you the 4.30...
I apologise, in advance.

Look at that! I get nothing, just the posting equivalent of tumbleweed, and git face gets a smiley. It's not right.

You can have the 5pm - without novocaine.

Notice how Mince didn't pick up the deliberate mistake and spot that November is actuallyeight months away - and not six! Well done, Roger. It worked.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Ah, but I was asked to make an appointment for AROUND six months time and November 4th was the first available.
I have no idea why I felt this was necessary to point out.
I'm going to bed now.

Hmph! He ignored me again. I think I'll ban him for a few days.

The best time to go to the dentist is 2:30 (say it fast).
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I was really hoping, nay, praying we might get through this thread without any mention of 2:30. But I never expected it of you, Diane. I'm sorry - I can't hide my shock and profound disappointment.

Let's hope no-one mentions those two fine dentists, Ben Doon, and Phil McCavity.

Perhaps it's because you're all a bit long in the tooth.
