There are TWO kinds of SCARY....ONE the OBVIOUS.
Two the NOT SO OBVIOUS!
There are many similarities, but I feel number two is more menacing. I never know what lurks behind the dental walls. There wasn't the obvious entrance of doors flanked with Gargoyles, as I crossed the threshold. I hesitated expecting a shout out, "cue the sound effects from House On Haunted Hill"! Hmmmm, if I didn't know better... I'd swear Vincent Price himself was the receptionist who checked me in. The assistants' unassuming disguises of pearly white smiles and cartoon printed scrubs, ushered me along as if we were taking a stroll through the park. Have you ever wondered why you're laid back in a reclined position? I say it's to break your fall when you faint! Listening to the moans of the drill I heard it say... NOOOOOO and MOMMMMY! Take a listen next time you pay a visit, and see what it says (groans) to you. Unlike most of Vinnie's guest I made it out alive to post (my warning) about the *DEN of TESTs* of courage. I didn't win a Million Dollars for surviving. I actually GAVE money for my venture, which still leaves me perplexed. Oh well, at least I made it out safe and sound with great teeth and a seemingly friendly reminder of my next (scary) appointment, EEEK....
*You'd never guess I actually had a carrer in the dental field, LOL!
