you're the first person to make me laugh today (and it's past bedtime!) I think all us women should take a stand and spit on our dentists each time they say swallow! Should we discriminate against our own sexes? what if their husbands or boyfriends or the office janitors have infiltrated the sanctity of syringes? How will we know? Ask to smell the contents first? what if it's a young girl or a lesbian who has no idea what the smell is like? They need a scratch and sniff available (by law) so they can compare. If no scratch and sniff available, they are free to SPIT!
