Oral Perfection
Today, as part of the run-up to the whole "wedding thing", I went to the dentist for a check-up and clean, in order that my gnashers will look their best in the wedding photos. The conversation went something like this:
Dentist: "So it's been eight years since you've been to a dentist? It's definitely a good idea to go every eight years alright..."Me: "ROFL!"
Dentist: "Okay then, lets have a look"
(several minutes pass while numbers are called out, seemingly at random)
Dentist: "your teeth are perfect. How did you do that? I don't understand how some people don't get a check-up for eight years and still have perfect teeth"
Me: "I don't understand how it's too hard or inconvenient to brush your teeth twice a day, and take care of them"
Dentist: "if everyone was like you I'd be out of a job"
Me: "WOCL*!"
(my parts have been translated from the native "GRRHrHrhnrhrhaaaahnnnslurp"-type speech you have when your mouth is full of water-jets, scrapers and Hoovers)

8 years since you were at the dentist? Ew! It was three for me the last time that I went, I was the same all that "gosh some people just have great teeth blah blah blather" all he said was I should get a clean with the hygienist every year. Some people don't brush their teeth twice a day, which is rotten yes, but true. You can smell them before you can see them. Ew!

Actually it's more like at least 8 years. People who don't brush their teeth twice a day are either:
a) Really stupid
b) Incredibly lazy
c) Double amputees
And only the people in group c) have any legitimate excuse.
