You know what? I made up a toothache and I drove miles to a dentist that I had not seen in Two Years, thinking that I could just stroll on in and get a prescription of painkillers. But I smashed into a car, hit him from behind, totaled my entire car, and you would think to yourself: well, there's your sign, mr Joe.
