The tongue is not smart.  I mean, it’s not like a finger.  In a way it is too smart, also not like a finger.  I know I’m not making a lot of sense, yet.  Just hold on and I will explain. Went to the dentist yesterday to begin working on the tree trunk split molar tooth deal.  They had to yank out a big chunk of tooth.  I wanted the chunk, but the dentist told me no.  I wanted to take a picture of it, but the dentist laughed at me, then looked at me funny and walked away for a while. Anyway, to fix the missing tooth chunk, he needed to grind down what was left of the tooth to make it ready to have a crown put on it.  Grinding and drilling went on for a long time.  While the grinding and drilling was going on, even though I kept telling it not to, my tongue would go check out what was stuck in my mouth. See?  If someone was drilling into the table next to my finger, I could tell my finger, “Hey.  Don’t you go near that drill.” and my finger would listen.  That makes it smart.  But as it is not thinking for itself and is just following my instructions, it is also stupid. My tongue has a mind of its own though, apparently, and can’t follow instructions given by me. This makes it kind of smart, yet also very stupid.  Very stupid because although it feels like it can make its own exploratory decisions, it does not learn from its mistakes and ran headlong into the spinning drill three time.  THREE times. Everyone knows one of the rules of comedy is that things are funny in threes, but not when slivers of your tongue are getting shaved off by a dentist drill. Eventually the dentist had to ask the hygienist to restrain my tongue. I believe his words were, “Can you grab that, please?” I was embarrassed by and apologizing for my tongue’s behavior.  This shouldn’t happen, I don’t think. Now, stupid tongue wants to pull the temporary crown off because it kind of feels like when you eat a bunch of Oreos or something and you get cookie build up on the inside of your teeth.  You know that deal?  And the tongue just wants to dig the build up off the teeth?  You know? So I’m telling my stupid tongue to not do that, but do you think it’s listening??  HELL no. So that’s some tongue stuff.  Here’s some other tongue stuff.  See how many times I typed tongue in this?  Didn’t spell it right one single time. Also, when looking for tongue images on Google, be prepared to see some stuff you didn’t really want to see.  I went with the kitty cat, but there were many other options.
