Who needs oxygen, anyway!?!

I just had an idea! So, you know how half of the people in the world are scared of flying ... well, I think we're all more afraid of crashing, the flying thing is unnatural, but not as scary as crashing ... ANYWAY ... you know those oxygen masks that drop from the ceiling if there's a (((problem))) ... ya, those... what do you say ... we replace the oxygen, with laughing gas. I think that would solve a lot of the anxiety related issues people have on planes. And if you ever were -- God forbid -- actually going down ... you could go out laughing.

THAT reminds me of the time I went to the dentist & got laughing gas for the first time. I was probably 13 years old. The whole thing is a blur, except for the ending. They said, "you're all set" & I got up from the dentist's chair, looked around, I looked left ... I looked right ... I remember smirking... then I walked, still smirking, down the hallway toward where my dad was waiting for me. I took that one last step around the corner at the end of the long hallway -- I saw my dad -- & I burst out with: "Dad! They gave me laughing gas!" I remember it came out of my mouth A LOT louder than I thought it was gonna. And I was sure of it, because eveyone in the waiting area behind my dad, started laughing. And I proceeded to laugh uncontrollably. My father stared at me, wide-eyed, trying not to lose it too.
To this day I think they screwed up the gas levels or something, because I've been chasing that same **happy place** feeling since that day at the dentists.
Most times, when I go in to the dentist, I won't ask for it, but if they give me the mask, as soon as they leave the room, I take B-I-G breaths in, hold it, let it out, another big breath.... you know .... the same way that people who take the pot inhale ... (lol) ... and when they come back, resume normal breathing, BUT YOU MUST be prepared for them ... & their evil trickery. They dial down the laughing gas, and dial UP the oxygen... AND they ask you questions. You must be prepared to answer them or they cut you off completely! You're enjoying the little legal buzz you've got goin' on, and they PURPOSELY try to ruit it by bringing you back to reality. Bastards. You should know, the 'smile - nod' thing DOES NOT work. They watch for that. If you answer their inane questions with a smile & a nod, you can consider yourself busted. You get straight oxygen. OH, they won't tell you it's straight oxygen. They just switch it up on you. You have to know. REMEMBER to watch for the subtle head movement of the dentist -- to the tech -- the one that means she's wasted, straight oxygen from here on in And THATS when you stop breathing through your nose mask.

I say ... Who needs oxygen, anyway!?!
