So for me, the dentist for many years was a decent experience with plenty of "moon air" and novacaine. My conditioned response was to walk into the dentist's office and feel relaxed, practically tingly like I had already had some of that moon air.
Well, I can't say I feel the same way now. Just a few too many less than stellar experiences. Yesterday my dentist did the swab thing to start the numbing. . .and then asked me questions as though I really wanted to discuss the economy with him while my mouth went numb. And honestly, when he went to do the numbing shot, it was like something out of a comedy sketch. Just unreal.
But for humor's sake, I did have to think of a great sketch from Bill Cosby because it was totally how I felt.
You should get to enjoy the dentist sketch too.
