High Noon

[peterbirks]

So, here I am, mentally prepared for the "nastiest" bit of the whole tooth improvement escapade, when the dentist decides to leave a message on my answerphone at work. "We need to reschedule", the receptionist says.


Balls.

So, I telephone, and the first available date and time that is convenient to me, my dentist and the surgeon is Friday, at noon.

Yes, I am going in to have my gums opened up at High Noon on Friday 13th.

Lucky that I'm not in the least bit superstititious, isn't it?

Could be worse. It might have been scheduled for 2:30.

Continuing the thread of crap jokes...are you not aware it is bad luck not to be superstititious?

I'll get me coat 8-(

Tooth Hurty

I often fail to get bad puns for several hours. I don't know why. Clearly there is some kind of disconnect in my brain.

It took me an hour to understand the joke, and one-sixtieth of a sixtieth of a minute to work out that it must have been Engel what wrote it.

Then again, there's always "datata," my favourite Italian dish with things in it. (Mentioning no porn stars in particular. Basically, it seems to be a Spanish omelette with an automatic flushing mechanism built in. Which is probably quite useful.) And you're taking the Babylonian numerical system to extremes if you need to use fractions.

Otherwise: nice to know that we're both on the side of the Engels. Unless, of course, the prevalence of the comma, double-dash, or other form of ellipsis is deemed by Chambers to be, in some inexplicable way, the sole property of a middling south coast football team, and therefore I am being pompous by using a colon.

In which case --

But at least nobody has yet descended to the level of an ex-colleague of mine in Atlanta, whose favourite joke was that he liked Chang Wei, but was worried about Wei's tendency to leap out of a cupboard in front of him, waving a box of pencils, and shouting "Supplies!"

Well, that's Atlanta for you. It gets a lot worse, a few miles down the road.
