Totally. Now I'm Completely Confident In Your Abilities.
I'm poor and on medicaid. So, I see a student dentist at one of our major urban universities instead of a real dentist.
The following exchange occurred between me and my student dentist today:
Me: "I'm fine. A little stressed out about my midterms, though. One was really hard."
Him: "Well, do you have to do well, or can you just pass?"
Me: "Um...I have to do well" (puzzled facial expression, increased heart rate).
Then I allowed him to expose me to radiation and put sharp metal instruments into my mouth.

I'm reminded of a Mel Brooks quote that appeared at the start of a book of "The Far Side" cartoons:
"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die."
Thanks for volunteering your mouth for my laughter in a mildly creepy ventriloquist-dummy way. I'm sure you, too, would have laughed if it weren't for all those infernal tools jabbing at your gums.
