Sadie: Hi, I’m Sadie. You must be Gordon.
Gordon: Yes, I am. It’s nice to meet you. It’s a little strange To be set up, isn’t it?
Sadie: It was nice of Felina and Jaime to arrange this date.
Gordon: It was. Jaime told me that you’re a Dentist. Is that right?
Sadie: Yes.
Gordon: That must be interesting work.
Sadie: Well, I think so. Just today, I did a Root canal and removed a set of Wisdom teeth. Oh, but you wouldn’t want to hear about that.
Gordon: Sure, I do. I want to get to know you better.
Sadie: In that case, since I live in a small town, I do basic dental work, but also Act as a Periodontist, Oral surgeon, and Orthodontist when the need arises.
Gordon: Wow, that’s a lot of dental knowledge To keep up on.
Sadie: I don’t mind. One day, it’s Cavities and Crowns, and the next, Extractions, Bridgework, Dentures, Implants, and Inlays. I had a very interesting case the other day…
Gordon: Go on.
Sadie: It’s a little unpleasant, maybe not good dinner conversation.
Gordon: Maybe you’re right. It’s not always a good idea To talk shop over dinner.
Sadie: Felina didn’t mention what you did for a living.
Gordon: I’m a Proctologist.
Sadie: Ah, I see your point.
Religion in great britain.
