.....another one.....

Visiting a new dentist for the first time, he took x-rays and told me I had another set of (what I would call) dog teeth, still up in my gums......

.....so I told him that they were my fangs which only came out on a full moon.......and hissed at him.......ala Dracula......

....don't ask, just my strange sense of humour........the nurse laughed, but the dentist just stared blankly in pure disbelief........after 2 years of 6 monthly check ups, he has got used to me.......and we can have a laugh.....

I've got another Dentist story.

My youngest got a job as an Dental assistant inbetween school and college.

Dentist sends her into the waiting room to call the next patient 'Mr WILLY'

'Mr WILLY' she called in a loud voice.

A man got up out of his chair and said, somewhat frostily, the names WILEY

It rhymed with 'SMILEY' not 'SILLY' which is what my daughter felt.

The dentist was grinning behind his mask the rotter!

She loved her time there, though.

Just a couple of many.......I wear a hearing aid now but have had many many mix ups in the past due to my misunderstanding what has been said.....

After my last child I went to the doctor for the mini pill.......new doctor for me and a bit dishy........going through the different types of pill, and him asking questions, I heard him say.......are you going on 30?.......and I went all coy and said........oh, aren't you nice, actually I am going on 32.......by his look and manner I realised I had fouled up once again.......

He had said the name of the pill.......Microgynon 30......which I had heard as ......are you going on 30........needless to say ...... one very confused doctor, and one very embarrassed patint.....

Aunts mates equally batty daughter had started work as a trainee dental nurse after leaving school.

Half listening to the dentist going over the paitents details, she caught the word "Mute" & thought that was the mans name.

The man came in, she turned to the poor man & said "Can I take your coat Mr Mute ? "..& took his coat.

The dentist looked on in horror as the man sat in the chair ready for treatment.
Guiding her out of the room, & stifling a chuckle he explained Mute wasnt the mans name but his condition, and explained what mute meant.

Well, back in the room, she couldnt meet the dentists eyes, everytime she did, a giggle welled up. How many times, she dropped to the floor out of sight to "pick up" a dropped item when she felt fit to burst.

She did end up working at the practice for quite a few years after that LOL !

Ever done something daft, misunderstood something to your embarrassment, played a prank ?

Add your tales to lighten the mood :o))

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My aunts batty mate once went shopping with her.

From the time my aunt got to her house, and for about an hour there after, aunts mate complained about having visual disturbances. Aunts mate worried that something was seriously wrong with her sight, or worse like a brain tumour.

Then aunt suggested friend may have a speck of dirt on the lens. Raising her hand, aunt went to wipe an imaginary speck from friends glasses only for the finger to go straight through & poke her eye

Friends lens had dropped out, and both the daft pair didn't even notice :o))

Result, two ladies, late fifties walking along Wood Green high road in fits, & people wondering why they'd been let out :o))))

(Before people go to RR, please don't think I'm taking the P out of a Brain Tumour because I'm not)
