As far as I am concerned, I am never going to get those brain cells back

I made the mistake of picking up a potential client call while attempting to craft a legal argument. Turns out, it was worth the time:

Me: Let me get this straight, you went to the dentist last week to get your teeth pulled?
Caller: Yes.
Me: As a result, you now have holes in your gumline.
Caller: Yes. It hurts!
Me: Where the teeth used to be?
Caller: That’s what I said!
Me: And you want to sue for this?
Caller: Yes!!!!

One would honestly be surprised how dumb I feel after dealing with calls like this.
