PCIntern's Journal of Idiocy, Volume MMCLXII

[PCIntern]

I told this story a number of years ago back in the Bush Administration but it bears repeating...

A well-dressed, well-comported middle-aged lady was in my dental office receiving treatment and at the end, after she had rinsed out and the bib was removed she asked me a question about her daughter's wisdom teeth.

My reply began, "Well in the evolutionary process..."

She cut me off, "Oh! You don't believe in THAT, do you?"

My reply, "The Theory of Evolution? No Ma'am. I also don't believe in the Theory of Aerodynamics. I believe that when your airplane taxis down the runway and begins to pick up speed, thousands of angels come down from Heaven and lift the plane up in the air, and that is in fact how they fly."

She stared coldly at me. I then said to her, "That has about as much credibility as Intelligent Design."

And yes, she still comes to see me. I am the only dentist in Center City who takes her dental insurance. Enough said.

3. LOL - and that was BEFORE the screwballs really went off the deep end.

I'm putting your angels "theory" in the memory box for future use. Brilliant.

6. Intelligent design would not have designed a wisdom tooth system that creates so much trouble. . .nt

7. They would say it's everlasting punishment for taking bites out of those apples.

11. It's a catch-all: Good thing: god is great, allahu akbar. Bad thing: depends on in-group/out-group

If a bad thing happens to "other" people, it is punishment by god.

If a bad thing happens to "our" people, it is god working in mysterious ways.

But,

... there is no god.

8. Excellent story. I may use it someday.

9. Wish you were in SoCal

Most every DDS around me is a MAGAts...and as RW "Christian" as one can get.

[Beringia]

10. You described how planes fly, not how planes are designed

Planes don't just put themselves together after waiting 3 million years of trial and error.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Your analogy has nothing to do with evolution. Organisms don't do as you describe either. . . nt

[Duppers]

13. ❤ your stories.

That was quick thinking on your part. Too many stupid people in the world and here I thought they all lived around me!

14. Plenty to go around....nt
