  • Back from the dentist again...  Two more cavities fixed.  You wanna know why human canines are called eye teeth?  Because when they drill them they excavate a tunnel clear up to your eyeball.  No, not really.  "Hmm," sez dentist, "some gum tissue has grown into a place where it shouldn't be, so I will remove it."  Jab goes the anesthetic.  Stab goes the electric scalpel.  Well, maybe is wasn't a stab, as I smelled something burning, maybe me.  Auuugggg!  No, really after the anesthetic it didn't hurt.  Mr. Dentist's next project is a place between two molars where those yummy sliced onions get stuck when I eat ramen.  I can't go back next week because I will be up in Tokyo, so he will just have to survive for two entire weeks without seeing me.
