As in, "One, two, three..." and I felt next to nothing, thinking it was a great practitioner. Then AFTER the countdown, JAB!1

But there's always a joker, usually a dude. Once when there was a new nurse doing the jabbing, I said, "Are you the one who's not going to hurt me?" and he said, "No, that guy's out. You got me today!1"
