During the report, they featured a classic clip from the movie "Marathon Man" where he played a crazy Nazi dentist who was drilling Dustin Hoffman's teeth. Listening to the actors and the drill, I could actually smell the burning odor of freshly drilled teeth! Then I realized I was driving by Ricardo's Restaurant and they were having their outdoor BBQ Rib Sale.
But I would still have smelled the burning odor even if I hadn't been driving by Ricardo's. He was that great of an actor.
Gasp! You listen to NPR?!?!
ReplyDeleteI must have been getting bad reception on all the other stations that day.
ReplyDeleteI confess, I listen to NPR more than occasionally (though I wouldn't say quite regularly) and heard that very report!
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is the new electric pencil sharpener I bought sounds oddly like an oversized dental drill. I always shudder when the kids use it.
Ouch! Pentamom, have you ever considered mechanical pencils?!
