Not Fun!

December 9, 2011

I'm having a tooth pulled this morning at 10:15.

:-(

It started bothering me on Monday, and the pain woke me up in the middle of the night yesterday.  Pills don't seem to help much.

It's a back molar with a crown that has already had a root canal many years ago.  The dentist said it would be a waste of time/money to re-do the root canal because he thinks that the tooth might be cracked.

So, out it goes.

Since this tooth is way in the back of my mouth, I may/may not get a bridge after the wound heals.

I hate that word, "wound".  It sounds so scary.

In any event, I will have the weekend to recover.

Now, here's a silly joke I was sent:

Two old Jewish men, Sid and Al, are sitting in a Mexican restaurant in South Texas.  One day, Sid asks Al, "Do you know of any people of our faith born and raised in Mexico?"

Al replies, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter."

When the waiter arrives, Al asks, "Are there any Mexican Jews?"

The waiter says, "I don't know, Senor, I ask the cooks."  He returns from the kitchen a few minutes later and says, "No, Senor, the cook say no Mexican Jews."

Al isn't satisfied and asks, "Are you absolutely sure?"

The waiter, realizing He is dealing with "Gringos," replies, "I check once again, Senor."

While the waiter is away, Sid says, "I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Mexico.  Our people are scattered everywhere."

The waiter returns and says, "Senor, the head cook say there is no Mexican Jews."

Al asks, "Are you certain?  I just can't believe there are no Mexican Jews." 

The exasperated waiter says, "Senor, I ask EVERYONE. All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews and Tomato Jews."

You have a creative weekend and I'll be back tomorrow.
