I like your 'double act' characters. I remember another story you wrote which included a 'double act'. Or triple. Can't remember. Anyway, it's great humour. Your mind probably wrote over your eyes (dental tools). I saw them because I have a set of them myself. They were given to me as a gift by a dental student friend when I was at uni doing my fine art degree. I used them for sculpting clay - I'm no 'Marathon Woman'! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4892510436199255267.post-25716924327272652192014-06-16T06:17:16.507-04:002014-06-16T06:17:16.507-04:00Most of us went with Dentistry themes.
