Sooooooo, my wife goes to the dentist yesterday.......

[Newfie]

....and we were sitting down last night telling me about the filling she had, and about how she's going to see a specialist regarding a root canal she had a month ago and still having pain.

"Oh, by the way, here's $250", she says. I ask what that was for. She says "Dr. ****** wants a box of Monte Cristo #2's brought back from Cuba and I told him you'd get them for him".

I says "You What??"".

She looks at me a bit weird, and I say

"We're only allowed 50 each and I'm having issues trying to decide what to cut off my list, and you're giving space away??"

She says "I'm not giving it away. I just gave you the cash!!"

I said "If I have to explain it, you'll never understand!!!"

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH

Between that and the "little things" its amazing that they can find their own heads in the morning. Its been an interesting week with my other half. I guess if they all thought like us Men, life wouldn't be as interesting.

Oh, BTW, hope the tooth thing works out. I've been blessed by not having to expereince any major Dentist procedures.

I feel for ya' Newfie, but you gotta admit there is some humor in it!

I didn't know you could take anything at all back.


Edit: give the guy a web site and then tell him the parable about teaching someone to fish.

Yeah good call. You could just order the guy a box of monte's and still look like a hero.

[cigar no baka]

Well, if a good friend asked me to get him some Cubans, I would. Is the dentist a good friend or just your dentist? If the latter, that's pretty cocky for him to ask such a big favor.

[Newfie]

Baka:

I'm not so sure he asked. I think she was telling him about our upcoming trip and he hinted by saying "I'll bet your husband brings back cigars, I'd love to have a chance at that" and then she offered. BTW, he's her dentist, not mine. Mine asked 2 weeks ago and I said I had my quota covered.

Tyler:

I've tried that route, and gotten burned once, and I know at least one other member here who I was in a box split with got the dreaded bill too.

Shelby:

Yeah, I'm sure I could laugh at it better after the trip than I could last night.

Barry:
That's kind of along the same lines as what I said to her.

Jon:

She's normally much smarter than that (her hair colour is fake) and she blames it on the Novocaine.

[SmokinDVM]

This is what I'd tell my wife, if she had done that..."Just think what that Dr. is going to do to your mouth after you give him back his money, and tell him he's not getting any Montes".
