Perverted periodontal appointment


OK, the real pervert, obviously, is me. But tell me this conversation wouldn't have you in giggles:

Periodontist: "I recommend you get an electric toothbrush. Be sure you get the kind that vibrates, though."

Me: "Gotcha." (Snicker.)

Periodontist: "And - you said you're married, right? It changes heads, so your husband can use it, too."

Me: "OK." (Trying VERY hard not to laugh.)

Next week I have to get a cleaning (today was exam only), so it probably won't be so funny. But with enough anesthesia, who can say? :)

Adjustable speeds for those hard to reach places?

"What? I can't hear you. My vibrating toothbrush is too loud." (I don't know why I said that. I just had to. Sorry. My children complain that I have dumb outbursts.)

...and then you'll be back a week later with a big goofy smile on your face, asking "H-h-how d-d-d-do you t-t-t-t-t-turn this thing of-f-f-f-f?

I love the Happy Tree Friends. So much violence.

I have a friend (best friend's girlfriend) who doesn't always know the proper term for some things. She speaks perfect english with little accent though. She had only been in Canada a few years when this happened.
She was in a group of people including her boyfriend when she mentioned she needed new batteries for her vibrator. Her boyfriend was mortified. Everybody else just giggled (or belly laughed).
What she meant was she needed batteries for her hand-held battery powered shiatsu back massager thing. She didn't know vibrator (which may have been a translation from what these devices are called in Chinese) means something different in English. It's been nearly ten years since this episode and we still joke about it around her.
