Fishy Excuses and Jupiter’s Alignment: The Comedic Consequences of Dental Avoidance
We all know dental checkups can be a bit daunting, but some people take their avoidance skills to a whole new level. For instance, one guy claimed he couldn’t make it to his appointment because his pet goldfish was experiencing “emotional distress” and needed a support human. Another convinced his dentist that the alignment of Jupiter meant he’d have bad luck if he went near a dental chair. The funniest part? After months of dodging the chair, they both ended up with a mouth full of cavities—turns out, even goldfish can’t mediate your oral health!
This joke highlights the lengths to which people will go to escape the dentist, using absurd and humorous excuses. However, it also serves as a reminder of the eventual consequences of such creativity—poor dental health. It underscores the fact that while avoidance may seem funny in the moment, neglecting dental care can lead to serious and sometimes painful outcomes.
