Spice of Life | Questioning evolution sitting in a dental chair

After all, who would appreciate all the drilling, filling and billing, not to mention the invasion of personal space for having one’s mouth wide open and presenting it to the dentist who would treat it as a road under a construction project.

My last visit to the a tooth-yanker had been aeons ago to get a cavity filled and the only thing I remember from that visit is that in complete ignorance of the stretcher-like chair meant for patients, I had seated myself on the doctor’s stool prompting the dentist to exclaim, “Excuse me, That’s my seat”.
