Back from the dentist
Apr. 5th, 2007 10:02 amI had a filling replaced this morning (the old one was chipped.)
The dental assistant, a guy, was a different one from the one I'm used to. We were talking while we waited for the novacaine (or whatever it is) to kick in, and I said I'd had a smoothie for breakfast to tide me over until I could eat again, since I don't like eating until the numbness has worn off. He asked if it was whey protein, I said no, soy, and then he asked if I used a blender to make it. I said no, one of those hand blenders. And he asked, "Magic Bullet?"
And I, without an appropriateness filter between my brain and my mouth, said, "I thought that was a vibrator."
Dead silence.
I turned to look at him, and he'd blushed bright red and was laughing silently.
"Sorry?" I offered.
"No, no, it's okay," he said. "Once I've gotten my flushing here under control..."
*Headdesk*
Then I came home and shoveled snow. And now I'm watching Jack and Sarah, mostly because Ian and Judi are in it. :-)
