What do dentists charge their cash patients these days?

[CAAD4]

Assos is worth it, if only for the spearminty gooch tingle. I have started wearing it even when not riding.

 

 

Hahahaha! Reminds me of my last ride with mates, 1,5m apart, when one stood up to pedal, I swore that he winked at me... At the robot I politely asked him to buy new bibs...

[IceCreamMan]

as long as it's not a tub of assos cream which conveniently segways into a story about my better half

 

I was away on business and asked her to pick up my bike from LBS - briefed them not to discuss costs etc.  Not that she minds but she can store ammo for years and then 4 years later say "oh but you paid 4 million for that Colnago bottle"

I digress, so as she was picking up the bike anyway I asked her to get me some "ass cream"  that's exactly how I typed it on the whatsapp.  She came home with Assos cream and was horrified at the price, quite understandably

Apparently you can spend millions applying cream to your face which is a hoax but good cream for your nether regions is a waste

 

Cost per application is relatively cheap though, so money well spent. 

 

Tub is aorund 13 pounds here, how much in ZA these days?

"Topper" it

Will vegan boerewors be appropriate?

Absolutely, you can pop past my house and Ill pull your tooth for tub of chamois cream, just don't moan if it doesn't work out well for you.

 

it reminds me:

“There is an old story of a boilermaker who was hired to fix a huge steamship boiler system that was not working well.

After listening to the engineer’s description of the problems and asking a few questions, he went to the boiler room. He looked at the maze of twisting pipes, listened to the thump of the boiler and the hiss of the escaping steam for a few minutes, and felt some pipes with his hands. Then he hummed softly to himself, reached into his overalls and took out a small hammer, and tapped a bright red valve one time. Immediately, the entire system began working perfectly, and the boilermaker went home.

When the steamship owner received a bill for one thousand dollars, he became outraged and complained that the boilermaker had only been in the engine room for fifteen minutes and requested an itemized bill. So the boilermaker sent him a bill that reads as follows:

For tapping the valve: $.50

For knowing where to tap: $999.50

TOTAL: $1,000.00

 

 

Reminds me of the guy in Firgrove who got someone on the street with a chainsaw to cut a palm tree at his house. The palm tree ended up on his roof and the cutter ran away.

 

 

I trust that the OP will be more discerning when it comes to picking a dentist.

I think the whole point of a Dad Joke is to try get the lowest lamest score you can. 

It has to be so lame yet punny it elicits a burst of laughter and a shake of the head. No other response is acceptable. If you elicit no response, the person either has no humour, or you need to give back your dad card. 

 

A mate of mine is slowly being bombarded with the Rules of Dad now that his lightie was born yesterday.

Haha, ja. a friend got someone in to cut a tree down...he had papers from Outsurance saying he had insurance if things went south.....anyway...cuts the tree down....tree falls onto the roof...roof broken....

 

Guess what....Outsurance never heard of the guy and he was never seen again.....!

 

To be honest I thought it was a bit dodge when I went out there to watch and the guy up in the tree had a safety harness and rope on....but it wasn't attached to anyone or anything on the ground....I just thought its the usual way of doing it.....

I'm not on medical aid, and I need to see a dentist soon. Popped off a crown and shattered a tooth (separate events ) during lock-down.

 

Dentists don[t generally advertise fees on their websites, and the one that does has fees that are staggering.

 

Anyone here have recent experience regarding affordable dentists in the Jhb northern suburbs area?

 

Not sure there is affordable anymore....Cracked a molar during initial lock-down, to get a crown 3 x visits with a total cost around R 19,800.

 

All in all it was a great job. But only on a medical savings plan, which would have blown all the savings, and more, so it was all out of my pocket.

if you like that, try deep heat 

 

Like my mate who thought he had dipped his hand into a jar of Vaseline to sooth the chafing as he approached Polly Shorts.  

 

He put in a decent interval to the next water table.....

You have dodgy mates, glad I don't ride with those guys

think about the same depending on what drivel the ANC spew for the day, then the price changes relative to the pound
