Dentists are probably some of the dumbest smart people.
Don’t ask me what’s new in my life when you have your fingers in my mouth.
What, am I going to use sign language to tell you all the new developments in my life? Firstly, there’s no way you’re genuinely interested in the goings-on of my day-to-day. Aside from the whole IRS situation, specifically the possible liquidation of Bloodclot Films, there’s no reason that knowledge of my life will bring you enlightenment in any way. Secondly, did you not consider the fact that you have both your fists in my mouth when awaiting my response to your question, “you liking this warm weather?”
Look—on paper, dentists are incredibly intelligent people. They’re highly educated, determined, and knowledgeable people. That being said, they clearly lack social skills of any kind. If I had both my hands in some dude’s mouth, I wouldn’t think to myself, “alright, now’s the perfect time to ask how he’s handling his parents’ divorce.”
Keep YOUR mouth shut, clean my teeth, and tell me what to do so I don’t have to see you again for another 6 months.
Until next time,
Michael J. Erickson, CEO & Co-Founder
