I said, "ummm ... no" Then the guy said, "Yeah, me neither. We don't play that game." I don't exactly know what he meant, but I can tell you that it made me nervous for a while.
Reminds me of when my wisdom teeth were removed. The oral surgeon said "Now I have to inform you that there's a one half of one percent (1 in 200) chance that you'll lose all feeling in your mouth and have to learn to talk again"
I asked him if that's ever happened to him, and he said not to worry. He's done 199 of them and he's never seen it!!
