Dentist on saturday morning

self effacing humour is a good thing to know how to do. Sounds like fun to me.

Yes, it's fun when you want it, but after a while, you may discover that professionalism requires that one not notice what you are wearing, or, in the interest of decorum, offer a polite compliment at the most.

My palms are sweating just thinking about the dentist.........I'm overdue for a check-up. Perhaps when I go I'll wear my kilt to help take my mind off of things!

I hear you.

I'm due to go on Wednesday for some major work... I don't think I'll wear a kilt in case there's blood!

Just wear a Wallace or Maclaren. You'll never notice the blood...

Surrender your man card? Hardly!

Sounds like you played it cool with a handfull of twenty-somethings and made their sh***y shift more interesting. Nothing to be ashamed of there my friend!

Well done!

My dental plan allows free cleanings twice a year. The local small town dental hygenist is an attractive lady. I always wear a kilt to the dentist - and they've come to expect it. I can't believe I used to attempt comfort in the dental chair while bifurcated...having FREEDOM while kilted in the dental chair helps me relax a bit more during dental work...

And boy did you luck out....

Well I've got an appointment on the 12th. I hope I get molested by some you dental techs. That would make for a good day in my books.

My doctor (male) makes no comment on my kilt but my dentist (female) can't stop herself from asking questions or offering comments. The treatments in both cases are utterly professional. So what should I conclude from that? Methinks there is a sex factor somewhere

My GP - Dr. MacFarland and I talk kilts and ham radio all the time - his nursing staff knows he'll be behind schedule after one of my visits. A blood specialist I get to see quarterly (lucky me) is Canadian but spent his first 18 years living kilted in Scotland. Though he doesn't wear a kilt now - every time I show up at the clinic his staff begs him to wear his kilt to work. My dentist could care less and its never a topic of discussion.
