Anyway, so I'm laying in the chair about to get a filling. For some reason the topic between the dentist and hygienist turns to sunscreen. Here is the conversation (with my brain commentary):
Dentist: Well there's the SPF part. Do you know what that is?
Hygienist: Uhhh...
Me: [Come on, you got this...]
D: I'm sure you know.
H: Uh..doesn't it help with sun burn or something?
Me: [Sun Protection Factor, dude]
D: Yeah, well there's different numbers like 40, 50, 70.
Me: [70? Don't think that's normal...]
D: Do you know what they mean?
H: Not really
Me: [Not really??]
D: It's the time needed to reapply. Like 40, would mean every 40 minutes.
Me: [Uh, that's not remotely true. Try multiplying by 10]
H: Oh, that makes sense.
Me: [No, no it doesn't. I don't know if I want you putting that drill in my mouth now.]
Maybe it's just me, but I worry when people lack in common sense that they are lacking in other areas too... Oh well, I'm still alive.
