Dentist: Mr. Wimbley, it’s been a while. How are you doing?

Wimbley: Oh, I’m on the up and up. How are you Dr. Wellings?

Dentist: Good, good. Kathy tells me you have a vexatious abscess on your 2nd bicuspid. – Kathy, number 20 please.

Wimbley: Is a vexatious abscess worse than a periapical tooth abscess?

Dentist: Haha. No, no. Just adding colorful context to an overwhelminly redundant job. The periapical tooth abscess is because you don’t visit me often enough. It being vexatious is just free marketing for my staff. Haha.
