...and now for something completely different:

So I had this dental patient in the chair today and her chief complaint, as it were, was that her teeth had become badly stained under her Invisalign Orthodontic Retainers. I shone my dental lamp on them and in fact they had turned a rather light shade of Burnt Sienna, and so, since I couldn't resist I said, "You're right: you do have a significant problem here which may last up to eight years, require much time, energy, and money to fix, and perhaps could cause irreparable harm. You have Trump's Disease, the orange color of the teeth being pathognomonic for same."

She looked at me in disbelief - that I actually came up with it on the spot - and we both burst out laughing.

You had to be there...

...political affiliation. I'm glad she laughed. These days, I'd be afraid someone would scream at me or hit me.

I take a daily dose of Fuckitol (tm) and I say anything I damn well please. I've only been accosted once, and well, that didn't end well for him.
