can't say i've been there :eek:

It's like the dentist but a billion times worse (ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET AN OLD, CREEPY ONE WITH COLD METAL TONGS)

What are the tongs for?

They use them to probe deep inside of you. I don't know what they're actually called, and nowadays most of them are plastic, THANK GOD.

ahh the voice of experience? did you probe them back?

I would not want to stick my finger up the guy's urethra, even if it could fit ;) BTW, here is complete info:

and there is a picture of the horrid instrument, apparently called a "speculum"

Well considering I would fall asleep half the time if my dentist didn't talk to me I can think of many things worse than that.

is it true, what i've read about the gynecologist? do they act friendly until it's time to get to business, at which point they leave the room, have a nurse come in, set up a little tent around your lower body, and he comes back in all business?

i did all four wisdom teeth at once.. it sucked something wicked.. well actually it wasn't too bad... i remember eating mashed potatoes for like a week straight every day.. talk about horrible experience.. but other than that it's alright.. the pain killers are nice..

btw, i don't hate the dentist.. i dont' think it's too bad.. go in for your semi-annual cleaning and everything's ok.. one cavity on my adult teeth..

A Catholic priest?

Was just a story in the newspaper of a 46 year old man who's wife had just passed away, and the local priest staying the night so he could be of support when needed. Halfway during the night the 76 year old priest suddenly slipped into the man's bed and started stroking him! And apparently he had abused the man before when he was still a kid.

i generally don't feel my cavities until i go to the dentist. its sad. i only go numb 50% of the time. the rest is painful, oh so very painful. i've had dental surgeons slice my gums and buzzsaw a layer of bone to get to wisdom teeth with no pain, go figure:p
