Blog Guy, you used to have a regular feature called, “What Former Dental Hygienists are Doing.” It was lively, timely and we all loved it, so what happened to it?
I’m sorry, I guess I dropped the ball on that. Give me another chance. Look, here’s the former dental hygienist for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Okay, so what’s she doing?
The usual. Texting, reading a newspaper, talking on the phone…
That really isn’t much information, Blog Guy. Isn’t she the person who is being investigated in connection with recruiting young women who prostituted themselves?
Are you serious? I guess you’re way ahead of me on that one…
Wait a minute. If you didn’t even know that much about her, then why did you happen to choose THIS former dental hygienist?
I guess I’m a sucker for cellphones and newspapers.

Nicole Minetti during a meeting at the Lombardy regional headquarters in Milan January 18, 2011. The prosecutors’ document says that Minetti, a Lombardy regional official who was formerly Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi’s dental hygienist, recruited “a significant number of young women, who prostituted themselves with Silvio Berlusconi.” Minetti, who is also under investigation, denies the accusations.

Who knew the phrase “I’m going to get my teeth cleaned” was really a euphemism for, oh, something else. Do you suppose they still gave them a free toothbrush afterward?
I need more coffee.
I could say that it gives new meaning to flossing; but then I’d be struck by lightning and YOUCH!
I’ve become my own cremains of the day…
It surprises me how or why such a man remains in power
Really? With the solid support of the Former Dental Hygienists?
Do dental hygienists assist with fillings?
@Doc, they may assist with fillings, and it is possible the position is filled. YOUCH! Darn that lightning…
Really? I had hoped for something better than cheap dentistry double entendres like drilling and implants and stuff.
Just wait until Spin weighs in, it’ll be a big step up. You’ll see.
I must usurp Spin with a haiku:
Dental hygienist
Not in the tooth business now
Very nice mugs though
Welcome back, Dave. It’s about time – our research folks noticed a dip in our Afghanistan demographic.
Well, I plan to dust the ashes off and go sit on the bench for a while. Will behave and mind my manners and oddly enough, have a few laughs reading the blog.
So the lovely Miss Molar gets the crown. Or at least a gold cap.
root canal anyone? deep tissue cleaning?
@RB: I understand now
Ummm… Everything I think of is a double entendre… Like sitting in the dentist’s chair is painful.. thinking of things like drillbits…
This IS a family blog, isnt it?
@Spin I hear that there are hygienists here, yes. Never seen one myself, so I can neither confirm nor deny that rumor.
Dave, i would think with that Tim Horton’s right on the airfield, your place would be a gold mine for dental professionals.
I went out on a date with a dental hygenist once.
I didn’t like her. She was boring.
Once we got past the veneer of attractiveness, the evening started to decay rapidly.
I had to cap that relationship.
Her expressions give her away.
Berlusconi has no qualms over losing his morals but he certainly cares about his molars. He is the Italian Head of State after all…
Nice Nosmo! Would it be lowering the tone to ask if she talked with her mouth full?
