My grandma (I’m 58), used to tell me about this kind of dentist set-up. Foot-powered drill and all that… Gaahhh!! Doesn’t matter who the dentist actually was. Scuse me while I go thoroughly brush and floss. Yikes.

(i wouldn’t be as thrilled if my local dentist bought it, though…)
Was he your huckleberry?
