Funny how dentists are sort of laughable figures except for your own dentist when you need him. I had my first tooth-extraction a couple of weeks ago. I wish I could say it was as much fun as losing my virginity. Thankfully it took over six decades for the former event and a few less for the latter. When we were in high school, John, who would have figured we could ever be toothless old farts some day. Next time we meet up let's compare artificial chompers.
