"I'd like to go to a woman dentist."

"Why do you want to go to a woman dentist?"

"Because it would be a pleasure to hear a woman say, 'Open your mouth' instead of 'Shut up.'"

-------

"That dentist wasn't painless."

"Why?  Did he hurt you?"

"No, but he yelled when I bit his finger."

-------

"I'm learning to be a dentist by mail."

"How interesting!"

"Yes, but it's very discouraging at times.  I have a man in my office now -- I've had him under anesthesia for 6 months.  He has an abscess.  And I won't have my abscess lesson till next July."

I apologize fkr saying if you stepped outside of your standard 6 jokes or so you might accidentally be funny. I was very mistaken.

Wouldn't be the first time for this at all, no man.

 

We might be encouraged to stop tell-joking upon daily receipt of several dozen (or hundred) upvotes.

   There you go. That was actually funny without really trying. To quote a famous monkey, we need more posts like this.

Monkeys have tails, for crying out loud.  We have no tail and are obviously an ape, not a monkey!  Reported!!!!!

  Actually I do know that. I worked with someone several years ago who was studying primatology and had spent time working with chimps. She had some really interesting stories, and it was always a source of annoyance for her when we called the chimps monkeys. Which we did often .

Not sure if that is a metaphor or a simian.

If we could talk, we'd have taught her a thing or two about primatology!

Most of us must content ourselves with flinging poo (which is a recommended hobby for all).

Sister is now fully vaccinated. Happy to report no major side effects. Just a very sore arm and tiredness. She took plenty of vitamins, stayed hydrated, and took a 6hr nap. Everyone had been telling her to expect a beating, but she's just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Seems most people ar OK, there are definitely some who do take a beating.

 

My category opened today, well I seem to qualify under a few. So I entered my details, clicked to find a place to go and nothing within 100 miles and nothing no matter how far I looked ahead.

 

Bumped into someone I know who is a Pharmacist who said they do not have enough shots for the previous categories never mind the new ones, so I expect a lot of pissed off people.

I read an article just today about the challenges in serving more rural areas; supply is just one.

There needs to be a good system everywhere for informing all people of the supply status.

White House looks at domestic travel restrictions as COVID mutation surges in Florida

 

The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.

Outbreaks of the new variants — including a highly contagious one first identified in the United Kingdom, as well as others from South Africa and Brazil that scientists worry can evade existing vaccines — have lent urgency to a review of potential travel restrictions within the United States, one federal official said.

Discussions in the administration over potential travel restrictions do not target a specific state but focus on how to prevent the spread of variants that appear to be surging in a number of states, including Florida and California.

 

In recent days, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky have said they are examining whether to require COVID-19 testing for travelers on domestic flights – a move that has drawn opposition from airline executives.

So how would a domestic testing requirement work?  Should negative testing be required for any mass transportation system?

No one has pointed out that such a requirement would also seem to violate HIPAA.

For all but the caravans of illegals poised to enter over the southern border.
