SMART TALK

by Dr. Tilde Cedilla




DENNIS: Yesterday at the Center for English as a First Language, a long-term patient asked me to recommend a good dennis. He said he hadn't seen a dennis since last winner.

Fortunately, I understood the poor man, because we had discussed his case at the weekly staff meeting in Strunk Hall.

I told him my favorite dentist was in Los Libidos, near the Bedspring Tech campus.

"But that's twunny miles away," he complained. "I was hoping to get a handier dennis. I like to use my bike, and riding to the next cowny in hot weather is sweaty, to say nothing of riding back while the anniseptic wears off."

I could see his point, so I told him that our staff physician, Dr. Amelia Raitt Payne, has a brother, Dr. Max Payne, who's a dentist right here in Underbelly.

And I wished him luck.
