A visit to the dentist

Had been to the tooth-doctor last Tuesday. And, what a pain it was ... literally.

Reminded me of the "anti-dentite" joke from Seinfeld:
The difference between a dentist and a sadist: Newer magazines.

The dentist is one more person to avoid. I was getting rid of my list of people to avoid:

• The tailor: Hate his "Please inhale and hold your stomach out" for the pant waist size. My stomach is only this big and it doesn't get any bigger.
  Solution: Switched to ready-made pants ages back.
• The barber: "Can you cut a little bit more in the front?" I ask. The barber makes some motions (and makes some clicking noises with the scissors as if cutting) and leaves hair as it is.
  Solution: Just leave if he thinks it is through.
• The eye doctor: "Is this better or", turns the glass 63.5 degrees, "is this better?", he asks. No difference, I say. Sometimes, I can't say if they are equally bad.
  Solution: Keep quiet.

The dentist has joined this list, I hope my last visit was just teething troubles and would go away soon.
