Just gonna put out out there that as a redhead it takes a vat of elephant tranqs to numb me up for dental work and forget keeping me knocked out for oral surgery. My dentist learned the hard way and now they have the good drugs ready for me but it does leave me incapacitated on the flip side.
I've been awake but mildly sedated. I talked to them as they worked. When the doc mentioned having trouble locating my cecum, I somehow thought it the height of wit to quip "Now you cecum, now you don't" and they all kindly laughed.
I've had minor discomfort after, but it's true that the real pain is an abscess that necessitates the root canal.
Of course, if the dentist chooses not to refer you to the endo and it turns out the dentist wasn't skilled enough to do a complicated multi-chambered root system and you keep going back when you feel the pain returning like an ice-pick to your jaw - this time we got it! oops, nah - and you end up needing surgery after it gets infected, well in that case, you can be excused for shuddering when someone says "root canal". Other than that, I agree with you.
I was mentally perfectly clear after my root canal, but I couldn't make myself understood worth a damn for the rest of the day. I'd have postponed any meetings where I was expected to talk, too, and I'm not in the kind of job where a miscommunication can result in the Cultural Revolution kicking off (h/t Gary Trudeau).
They gave me a roofie for mine! Something or other and a couple micrograms of fentanyl. Yes, that's micro not mili-. Anyway I remember about forty seconds of the colonoscopy and they are blessedly discontinuous.
I sort of doubted that story too. InBev is a multinational corporation, and if a few thousand wingnuts stopped drinking Bud Light, I doubt it would have a huge impact.

Was it like when the crayon got stuck up Homer's nose?
Wow! And I thought I had tempted fate back in high school by listening to Black Sabbath while reading The Shining during a thunderstorm!

"get out of here".....haha
Remember that when that Corvette was new (not sure exactly what year it is), Joe was only like twenty-five.
Used to get "Yacht Club" beer from Erie PA for $.99 six pack. That's been a while ago.

I wish I liked beer, because it does seem like a good summer drink.
