Okay, then it somewhat appalls me how much Steve Dupont had to be sacrificed at the dentist this morning by the gas, in the name of comfort, in addition to the teeth of course being pulverized – pulverized? – just obliterated to dust with the drill, in the name of self-preservation of all things, and sucked up by the tube into some sort of canister and then perhaps into the sewer system and then snared by a filter and dumped in a landfill and mushed up with banana peels and dirty underwear and all the junk until it becomes dirt and then maybe a tree grows and these tiny bits of Steve Dupont are vaulted into the sky and therefore closer to the moon!

Goddamn it, I’m dumb ...
