WRKO or Root Canal

Yesterday I took the day off from work to have a root canal done. As I was sitting in the chair thinking obscene thoughts about the hygienist my dentist interrupted mt pornographic reverie by asking me if I was in any pain. In retrospect, probably a good thing.

Anyway, as I enjoyed the sound of the drill and the feeling of decayed tooth ricocheting around in my mouth, I thought to myself how many times have people jokingly said ' I'd rather have a root canal' as an option to something unpleasant?

Yesterday I had that option. At 8:00 AM I was on my way to the dentist for a root canal and figuring I was punishing myself enough, I flipped on Felons Forum on WRKO.

It was like getting that really sharp hook the dentist uses to probe where it hurts even though you've already told him. I know I literally winced while I was driving.

Lets review and we'll tally up at the end:

Pinch of Novocaine needle in my gums or listen to Felon Finnerian?
I'll take the needle

Unyielding whine of the drill chipping away the decay on my tooth or Felon Finnerian?
I'll take the drill

Jerking mouth wrenching feeling of the tool that pulls out the pulp of my dead nerve of Felon Finnerian?
I'll take the nerve extraction without Novocaine please

Throbbing pain of the Novocaine wearing off and the evidence of the abuse my oral cavity has taken shown by the swelling of my gums or Felon Finnerian?
Bring on the pain

Soothing drowsiness and finally sleep of 2 vicadin or Felon Finnerian?
I think without the vicadin I'd have been asleep listening to the colossal bore that is Finnerian anyway.

OK, so lets sum up- Root canal or Finnerian?

Root canal by a landslide!!!!

And here's the tragedy of all this folks: Its true. All kidding aside, I actually had a better experience than the survey delivers. My dentist is great, the hygienist is a knockout and the vicadin part is true. I had a great root canal experience. But when the pain is gone and my tooth is fixed, Finnerian will still be un- listenable.

So there you go. I would actually rather have a root canal than listen to that sanctimonious monotone pantload Tom Finnerian.
