We, The Dentally Retarded |
||

As a kid, I often wondered how dentists made money. It was only when I got my first toothache I realized how. In fact, it was then that I realized the clich'd but apt adage ' dentist is a person who fills a cavity in your teeth by digging a hole in your pocket! The agony of the toothache is alleviated only by the agony of footing the medical bills. Relativity, unlike what Einstein must have envisaged, can work wonders even for somatic troubles! Now picture this, a photograph showing evil-looking dental instruments & the products of a well-known dental care company juxtaposed. The catch line warns: "The choice is yours!" The accompanying model smiles eerily down at you. The psychological intimidation is complete! What a smart way of saying, 'You have no choice! '
How one wishes all the dentists fill only such cavities. But wishes are no horses! |
