Strong Nerves.  I don’t want to get kicked out of the man club so I’ll tread lightly here, but I have sensitive nerves. I went to the dentist to get a filling replaced. They hit me with the novacaine. Then I told the hygienist I wanted more…I explained I’ve had issues in dental chairs before. So, she hit me with another dosage of pain killer.

You’d think I’d be good at this point, yes? No. The dentist hit something and my reaction must have scared the living crap out of him. If I were Spiderman I would have sprung out of the chair and found myself clinging to the ceiling. So, they hit me with the third dosage. At this point I couldn’t feel half my head which was fine by me. However, trying to drink some coffee and eat some eggs that morning became quite challenging.
