Monty by Jim Meddick for April 27, 2021

Marvelous! Please just give me the gas and show me some clouds.

Ha! That first introduction frame is lovely!!

I thought the hashtag was a $ at first. A $29 premolar.

It would be more fun to be distracted with the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition. Just sayin’.

One dentist gave me a tranquilizer tablet to take one hour before my appointment. First time I ever took that kind of drug. As an experiment I tried to do a sudoku puzzle just before my dental seating. I was amazed at how completely stupid I had become and laughed at myself because I didn’t care.

My dentist shows a film of goldfish in the ceiling.

My hygienist has a mobile of fish above on the ceiling.

Gee, I hope this isn’t a trend.

See the Proctologist or urologist, or ladies the Gynocologyst and you’re in for some natty viewing.

I don’t know who that one eyed fellow is, but the guy on the end looks like Rod Stewart!

When I was getting radiation treatments, they had a gorgeous view of bluebonnets on the ceiling. I live in Texas, by the way.

A clinic I used had flowers in a field— not as a picture, but as the cover/diffuser for the fluorescent lighting.

My tattoo artist had a poster of Frank Zappa in a banana hammock on the ceiling, so I had to look at hairy man-bush while getting tattooed.

The older you get the harder the "calm-down’ pills hit you.

I asked my dentist this the last time I was there. It was an aerial view in motion of some city. He said, I think it’s Singapore. Can you turn it off? No. It’s hard to keep your eyes closed an hour and a half with all that going on.

Sister had wisdom teeth removed. The dentist medicated her, she had headphones with her choice of music and lovely pictures on the ceiling. She said she was really disappointed when the procedure was finished and she could go home to dinner with her picky-eater kids.

Just when Monty was beginning to think that his dentist had a clever imagination, the dentist killed the buzz….

One of the many sadnesses in Les Miserables (the miserable ones) was Fantine, newly out of work and desperate to raise money to fend off starvation for herself and her little girl, agreeing to have one of her teeth removed (without anesthetic, of course) to be sold to some rich person as a replacement for one of their own.

Anne Hathaway won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in what was probably the shortest screen-time exposure in the history of that category for that scene and her game rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream”, the apotheosis of which was Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk
