I fell asleep in the dentist's chair yesterday. The dental hygienist was so gentle and pleasant I slipped into an afternoon snooze. After relating this slightly embarrassing story to WRAL colleague Brian Shrader, he remarked: "Why do dentists always ask you questions after they've filled your mouth full of drills and drainage tubes?"
