Ken B. Sure, Ken... I'll absolutely positively do nothing but think of your thumb whilst I'm getting them needles stuck into my throat! <grinning> Uhhhhh..... WHICH thumb should I be thinking of.. the right or the left?

Okay, I'll explain....Liza made an LP many years ago, I forget the name, and I also am not sure if I still own it, but there is a monologue that involves how much time some of the things we do in our lives adds up to, for example 30 years sleeping, 30 hours reading the comics, etc. (These are not quotes, just examples. Well I was thinking, I probably in my 54 years minus 8 days, have spent maybe 3 hours getting root canals done, but I always think of it as such a negative experience. Well I once slammed my thumb in the door of a '78 Buick, and the pain and discomfort was MUCH WORSE than any root canal, and when the E R doc punched 3 holes in the fingernail with a hot needle, which only took a few seconds, the pain was MUCH WORSE than slamming a thumb a car door, but I really don't think of that experience as often as I think about root canal. I DO remember, that my wife (BARBARA!) would not let me take any pain medication, because we were going to her office picnic, and she wanted me to be able to drink beer without a reaction to medication. I appreciated her concern so much, I offered to give her a free root canal with my Black and Decker 1/2 inch hammer-drill. She declined.................. I DID drink some beer that day! SO when you are getting needled, think of my thumb..you'll feel better!
