Ask yourself the question

I have taken the advice of a political leader and asked myself the question "What are you doing to prevent global warming¨,now wear a wooly  jumper and never travel anywhere without a hot flask of chocolate was my initial thought,this would at least keep me warm if an ice age suddenly hit earth on my way home from work,I then realised that this was not asking myself the question out loud,so I decided to ask myself this question out loud while travelling on the underground in London last night.I got some looks initially but soon it seemed to catch on after I asked myself some questions relating to the benefits of asking yourself questions in public places .Pretty soon every one was at it ,there was questions being fired in all directions and prompt responses too. Things got a little hairy when I asked myself a question outside the london psychiatric Hospital based in Fulham,there happened to be a group of students from this hospital outside having a break ,just as I was halfway through my response to a complicated answer to a question about nuclear physics one of then approached me ´´ can I ask you a question´´ she said
´´what another one ,because that opening statement of yours would fall in the category of questioning" now not wanting to get more pedantic I said no more.
Shortly after this the entire entourage of students came over and after a little consultation with the first student I was invited into the hospital.

Dental appointment

I had an appointment for a checkup with my dentist yesterday. I had the usual butterflies in the stomach feeling but after a few minutes I decided he was fine and let him have a look at me. sensing my fear he put me completely at ease reminding me that these days  feeling pain on the dentists chair was long since gone. Now true to his word the filling I needed to get passed without incident.It wasn't until I went out to reception to pay that I experienced the real pain. 100 Euros and medical cards not accepted. Now to my mind he had finished a job that I has started,It was a miniature form of a council job,I had made the hole all he had to do was fill it in.
I didn't get the taste of any precious metals in my mouth afterwards either.
