After being on this Earth for one-third of a century, or the equivalent of two pie pieces in the game of Trivial Pursuit, I’m still amazed there are things that can warp my vanilla mind (maybe it’s more cookies-n-creme).
On the scale of mental shockwaves, what a dental dam is might not rate that high on the perverted list. (See my last “InASense, Lost” post for worse.)
What’s surprising is that it was referenced in last night’s episode of “Pushing Daisies.” It was sly, and of course, i didn’t get it. But it pops up in an exchange between Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) and his mom.
After a woman of questionable means leaves his detective office, he states “I’ll be dental damned” in reference to a dentist that hired him for the same case. His mother responds, “With a girl like that, you certainly should.”
I guess in a show kinda about necrophilia, I shouldn’t be surprised.
