"I haven't pooped in a week." "Hmm, how many servings of roughage do you eat per day?" "All of them. I eat ten apples for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I eat the solids left in the juicer after making my all-organic smoothies." "OK, I guess we'll have to do a DRE. Do you mind if my interns help?"
"How often do you floss." "Ten times a day." "That's curious, because your gums started bleeding like a Tarantino movie when my hygienist waved the box of floss in your general direction."
I learned the hard way when I faked appendicitis and ended up in surgery when I was 12. :-)

- WalterBright 13y agoI tried lying to the dentist when I was a kid about how often I brushed my teeth. He just laughed at me.
- taeric 13y agoI always had the opposite as a child. They would commend me on how I must have done a decent job since the last checkup. Reality is I probably only brushed/flossed 3 or 4 times in that interval.
