thebratqueenWhen I was a child I thought that all canals were like the Panama canal, with locks and stuff.
Therefore when somebody said they were getting a root canal I figured the dentist was putting those locks into their gumline.
It made sense to me since everybody said root canals were horrible and painful.
I know better now*. 8)
(* - er, I hasten to add, "now" as compared to "then". Not "now" as in I just learned that today. Today I learned my seat in my car gets extra firm when it's cold outside. Not as much fun but a point of trivia nevertheless.)
