Martha: Oh, I have a toothache


George: It sounds like you’re in for a visit to the dentist


Martha: That would be the last resort. I hate going to the dentist. I don’t like needles and the sound of the drill scares me to death. I’m hoping the toothache will just go away. 


George: You really should get that checked out. Do you want me to make an appointment for you with my dentist? 


Martha: No, thanks. I haven’t seen a dentist in years and I don’t plan to now unless I have no choice. 


George: Years?! You haven’t been to a dentist in years? Haven’t you ever heard of preventive care? You’re supposed to get a dental cleaning twice a year. 


Martha: I don’t follow doctor and dentist guidelines like that. I brush my teeth every day. That’s good enough. 


George: No, it’s not. You should be flossing every day and rinsingyour mouth with mouthwash to keep your teeth and gums healthy. If you haven’t been to the dentist in years, I’m not surprised you didn’t know that. 


Martha: Stop preaching! I’ll go to the dentist when I need to. 


George: Like now. 


Martha: Maybe. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore... 


George: I never knew you were such a chicken


Martha: [makes a chicken noise] Bwauk, bwauk...!

DAHLIA: Would You Like Canada To Adopt Turks And Caicos As Our 11th Province?

You can be sitting on a Canadian beach, sipping a beverage in a coconut, on a hot, sunny day – in the winter – if Canada adopts Turks and Caicos.
The federal NDP may debate this is at its upcoming convention, but this a conversation that started all of the way back in 1917 when former prime minister Robert Borden asked Great Britain to give us the little piece of paradise.
Turks and Caicos is a British Overseas Territory comprised of 40 low-lying coral islands in the Atlantic, southeast of the Bahamas … basically located in heaven.
Back in 2014, the Caribbean island’s Premier, Rufus Ewing, was open to this, but Canada’s former foreign affairs minister John Baird sunblocked the idea of a tropical Canadian province.
Oh, by the by, right now in Turks and Caicos it’s sunny and 26 degrees Celsius.
