A funny thing happened at the dental office today:

[PCIntern]

At about 8 AM my receptionist came in thru the front door with a reception room full of patients (we start at 6:30, and no, we don't call it a 'waiting room'). She was clearly agitated and perturbed. I asked her in front of everyone, "What's the matter?", fearful that I was going to have a VERY LONG DAY. She replied, "I just tried to have a healthcare discussion with a Republican, and it was no use." I replied, "You should know by now not to bother; it's like peeing into the wind." The whole room erupted in laughter. I said, "Good. No Republicans this early in the morning - I'm trying to keep my breakfast down by not becoming too agitated first thing." More laughter. And off to work I went!

4. Do you live in blue country? Was it just a coincidence that the room was full of non-Republicans,

or do you screen your patients?

12. You start at 6:30 AM???

Jeez, my dentist must be a prima dona---first appointment is at 9:00. Makes me miss a lot of work just to get my choppers cleaned.

Nothing like it...I'm finished half a day before some even get started.
