oh, that’s different…nevermind.

I had a funny conversation with a client at the dental office where I work. After my initial greeting and health review I took some radiographs and left the room to put them in the developer. When I returned as I was putting on my mask and gloves he said to me, “Did you ever notice how everything is about sex?” hmmmm…where was he going with this? I thought about cutting that line of conversation off right there by saying, “Not dentistry mister. Dentistry is never about sex. Not EVER.” but I decided to give him a chance and see where he was going with it. I raised an eyebrow and said “uhhhh..ok?” and he he said, “There was an ad for a museum on the radio just now and it said something about coming to see NAKED something. It’s a museum! Why would they want to use that angle? Everything these days is about sex. Kids are bombarded with sex. Even at museums. It’s not like it used to be when I was a kid.” He was about 40, soooo…about my age and I definitely don’t remember the 80’s as being the innocent “good ol’ days” but whatever. So, I just said, “Well I suppose if you are in advertising it would be much more difficult to actually be creative so they just take the easy way out and use sexual innuendo.”

Later an ad for the Sam Noble Museum in Norman came on. It said that the Sauroposeidon was the worlds largest dinosaur and you could come and see a reconstruction of the neck and head of the amazing beast right here in Oklahoma.

neck and head…not nekked.

oh …that’s different….nevermind.

Do you remember Miss Emily Litella?
