Why Didn’t I Check my Shoes for Dog Poo?
Why Didn’t I Check my Shoes for Dog Poo?
Is this not a sign of aging? Dementia due to senility? Yesterday I went to the dentist for a cleaning and exam. As I reclined back into the prone, “open wide” position, I could smell something just slightly “off.”
Off, yet familiar. Oh No! I could see dog poop on the side of one of my shoes. I had picked up the crap in the yard just before I left home, and I must have….oh, man.
I looked at the dental hygenist: “You’re wearing a mask I see, that’s good. You probably better leave it on.”
But after the cleaning, the dentist came in for an exam. He looked over the new xrays and then picked away at my teeth. “Looks ok,” he said. “See you in a year.” He never mentioned the “off” smell that his examination room had mysteriously taken on. I hoped that the smell would clear after I left. I don’t know if I will ask the hygenist when I see her again or not.
I may have to live out in the sticks but I shouldn’t have to smell like it too. I apologized, of course.
Tomorrow: Why Didn’t I Excel at Basketball?
Yesterday: Why Didn’t I Go Into Politics?
Okay…you done me one better. CHURCH! And where you are a captive audience with so MANY people who have their noses up in the air anyway.
