this is going to hurt just a little bit...

went to the dentist today and every time i visit i think about this poem by Ogden Nash called 'This is going to hurt just a little bit' that i read in school.. i remember asking my brother to read it before his visit to the dentist thereby scaring him..

today was not so bad.. the doctor and the nurse were chatty and i was chatting along with them.. while waiting for the local anesthesia to kick in the doctor was asking me about movies that i liked.. i was generally saying that of the recent movies i had enjoyed 'avatar' and so on.. he was talking about the movie 'slum dog millionaire' and violent scenes that were there and how he couldn't watch it...

he said: 'i just hate to see people suffer so much, you know...'
i said: 'but you're a dentist!'

the doctor and the nurse were laughing for a whole minute.. it looked like i relaxed them more than they did me.. LOL!
