You know the economy is in the toilet when your chiropractor is calling you weekly begging you to come in for an adjustment. There was a time when I had to wait days to get in to see her, but now she's calling me at odd hours suggesting all sorts of things I really don't need. It's like Avon only with multiple degrees and a cool table to pop your back on.
Our conversations go like:
Dr.: Hi, this is Dr. SoandSo. You really should come by and let me take a look at your back.
Me: But, my back feels great. Best it's been in years.
Dr.: But only through proper maintenance will it remain that way. I'll put you down for 3 on Friday.
Me: I really don't.......
Dr.: Come on...it'll be great and I'll even throw in 15 minutes of neck traction for free!
Me: I think I'm busy.
Dr.: We have a new masseuse named Helga. You really should stop by and meet her.
Me: (A pause) Ok, you adjust my back, throw in the neck torture and Helga for free and it's a deal.
Dr.: See you Friday.

Ha! That is funny. Sometimes I feel my dentist is using those same techniques. At my expense, both pain-wise and money-wise!
