"I don't know why I listened to you."
"What's wrong?"
"I wasted an hour at CVS looking up and down every aisle and could not find the shingles vaccine."
"No, you have to ask the pharmacist and he or she will administer it. You can't just buy it."
"NOW you tell me!"
"I'm sorry I wasn't clearer."
"Plus I ended up buying Twizzlers and they got stuck in my teeth and pulled out a filling. So now I have to go to the dentist. I should send you a bill."
"You probably should avoid the Twizzlers anyway because of the blood sugar issues we talked about..."
"You're the one who sent me to a store filled with candy. I only bought them because Twizzlers sounds like Shingles."
"So you thought the vaccine was made of licorice?"
"No, I'm not an idiot. I just got hungry."
"Okay. You can go back and ask the pharmacist for the vaccine when you get a chance."
"Never."
This was wonderfully fun to read. We have missed you, Anonymous Doc!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a nice read. It's very witty, as well as a fine reminder of the significance of dentistry in daily life. Really sublime. Stuff like that is rather easy to miss, but is nonetheless tied to our very diet.
