I was in the dentists asking about prices.
"How much for a tooth extraction?" I asked
"That will be £420" said the receptionist.
"£420! Do you think I am made of money? Why is it so high?"
"Well Sir, for that you get the dentist, the anaesthetist, dental nurse, general anaesthetic and medication"
"Can't you do it cheaper?"
"Well we can do it for £250, but for that there is no General, on local and no recovery"
"Is there a cheaper option?"
"Well we can do a £50 extraction, but there is no painkiller at all, and just a dentist to pull it with a pair of pliers"
"Aye" I said, "That will do, can I book the wife in for tomorrow?"

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist.
"I want a tooth pulled, and I don't want any pain killers because I'm in a big hurry. No gas or needles or any of that stuff." the woman said. "Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we'll be on our way."
The dentist was quite impressed. "You're certainly a courageous woman," he said. "Which tooth is it?"
The woman turned to her husband and said: "Show him your tooth, dear."

I was just reading an article the other day about how much an anesthesiologist adds to the cost of medical procedures (well, actually it was about a new machine that can do the same job much cheaper). It's kind of sad how true that part of this joke is...

So we finally decided to bail on the 2012 visual studio cloudification handle git for you thing.
It would have been great had it worked at all. We couldn't even commit changes on our published branch, and then sync. It would get all hosed up and we couldn't even change branches.
I have found a way to use it for the simple things, and git bash for the rest. So we create branches, commit, rebase, etc.. through the terminal, and then use the vs gui to sync.
Now I have to figure out how to create the remotes from the vss address and we'll finally be able to work on the project again.

... hate the dentists...
He basically called me in for the annual checkup.. Found out two bad teeth which have to be "taken away in a later moment". And I have such a difficulty to open the mouth...
Definition of the "Later moment": full anesthesia in a hospital for a half a day.. Don't think the insurance is taking that over.. Will be a pretty busy "dentist" autumn for me.. And my wallet..

Pub?
After dental work?

ANNUAL checkup?
No wonder you hate the dentist.
You should see him every six months.
And why would you have to have full anesthesia? Can't he jab you full of novacaine and starlight you with pentathol instead? It's what my jaw cracker does.
Much easier and none of the inherent dangers of full coma inducing sleeping draughts

It's common here a year.
Dalek Dave wrote: And why would you have to have full anesthesia
He suggested the full anesthesia because I have a very strong nervous reaction when opening the mouth. Basically it's very hard to have it open still. I had local anesthesia last operation, and it was still very hard

Sounds like you need another dentist. Full anesthesia for tooth pulls? That's someone looking to pad their bottom line.

I guess we talk about taking out the wisdom teeth (or similar, since he can barely open his mouth).
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

I'm with Mike. I had the worst kind of widom tooth extraction done and had the choice of two nights in hospital or 30 mins in the chair under local. He's a top dentist and charges such but you get what you pay for...

Herself also hates dentists - she has been known to "leg it" out of the ladies room window before now - so I haven't told her her appointment for tomorrow has been cancelled, it would only upset her!
Why upset? Because she would want to know when it has been remade for, and then she will be worrying and planning escape routes for an extra week. She only goes every six months, so she always forgets the appointment, and I only remind her when it's actually time to put the handcuffs on, fit the anti-bite gag and ship her off to see him...

Was it your wisdom teeth? Those are the molars at the very back, which start to come in in your early to mid teens. Yeah, those usually need to come out.
In my case, they were causing chronic jaw pain. When I developed a cavity in one, the prospect of having to have a top far back tooth filled prompted me to get them yanked. All four of them, in one go. I didn't get a general anesthetic (there was no specialist anesthesiologist) but I was dosed with knock-out gas which had the same effect. Fixed the jaw pain, and I still have the teeth on my dresser. Insurance covered half the cost.
