Better to Sweep Up the Glass Than Walk On It


It’s been said that having clean teeth is to be one step closer to God. I think about this twice, or even three times depending on various factors, a day. Today I almost asked my hygienist how she felt about this, and if she knew where that saying originated. We had little time to chat though. Besides the barely bearable awkward “Hi-how’s-it-going-have-a-seat-please-turn-your-head-a-little-more-to-the-right-no-a-little-more-that’s-good-thanks” kind of exchange. Then boy did she dig right into my mouth the second my back was in full recline. I then couldn’t decide if she was doing God’s work, or if she was sent from hell.

Hubert....Picturing you getting your teeth scrubbed by a fallen angel is well interesting!!!

If these hygienists are sent from hell....well, what does that make the people who teach them their trade???
