A prominent Woodland dentist suspected of groping more than two dozen female patients tried to keep his license Thursday by arguing chest massages were an appropriate procedure in certain cases.
Dr. Mark Anderson appeared at Thursday’s hearing before a state administrative judge to defend himself against the state dental board’s attempt to suspend his license pending resolution of the charges against him.
His lawyer, Robert Zaro, told Judge Jonathan Lew that articles from dental journals discussed the need to “palpate” the pectoral muscles in cases of temporal mandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, a common jaw problem that can cause head and neck pain.
| I wonder if all these women actually had TMJ? |

Phew! Even I think that is sick.
But, did he also palpate the musculature of his male clientele with TMJ? Only then would he have plausible deniability.
I’m sure the women in question weren’t flat chested.
The “chest cavity” , an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I had a hygienist that always rubbed her tits in my face. I’d eat a whole box of Oreos before I’d go to that appointment.
#7: I got one that when I’m lying in the chair and she’s working on my choppers, my head’s cradled between them! She’s the only reason I actually look forward to a dental visit.
This story PROVES dentists are all secret sleezebags and that dentistry should be abolished! FREE THE WORLD FROM FILLINGS!!! you idiots who believe in tooth decay!
(Well, equally ridiculous things about Christianity would be posted here, if he was a priest instead of a dentist.)
I don’t know what it was, but he just rubbed me the wrong way.
What I don’t get is the women who say they were groped 5 or 6 times over the course of a couple years. What’s wrong with these women? It’s one thing not to report the guy, but why would you keep going back? It’s not hard to find dentists–they’re everywhere. I understand some women find it hard to get out of violent relationships too, but this is your dentist for Christ’s sake–just find another one already.
#7 & #8
And that is what I call a double moral: If a woman rubs against a man she’s emporering her desire but if a man rubs against a woman he’s a sick, perverted sex offender.

A man is trying a very unusual way to propose to his girlfriend. He wants people to forward an email to as many people as possible and he hopes that it will eventually get to his girlfriend. Details here: http://www.proposal-to-mary.com
Here is what he wants people to send by email:
You could help me a lot to spread my proposal to Mary – it is important that it is distributed as widely as possible so that it eventually reaches Mary. If you would like to support my proposal to Mary, please send the following text by email to a lot of people

WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS, PLEASE HELP TO DISTRIBUTE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE!
For a long time I have tried to find a special way to propose marriage to my girlfriend Mary, whom I know for five years now. I wanted it very special, romantic and memorable, something our grandchildren would still remember.
And here is my idea: I will send out the proposal to Mary to 50 complete strangers, people I don’t know – hoping, that they will forward my proposal to as many people as possible, which in turn forward it etc. And some day, I hope, it will reach Mary, after it has travelled a very long way. I know, it will take a long time and I am quite nervous…
From the poem MY Mary will know immediately that the proposal is for her.
I have created a homepage ( http://www.proposal-to-mary.com ) where you can find the current status of my quest. You can use the homepage to check if the proposal has already reached Mary (in that case it is not necessary anymore to forward the mail).
Once the proposal has reached Mary, I will put a note on these pages. Also I will publish there how many people have read the proposal so that everybody can see how far it has spread and that it is getting closer to Mary.
And of course you will find there what I am waiting for most: Mary’s answer! I can’t tell you, how nervous I am… Will she accept my proposal? Will she like the unusual way how she got it, through the hands of thousands of messengers all over the world?
Please cross your fingers for me! And please – help me by sending the mail to as many people as possible, to help it spread, so that it eventually reaches Mary.
And here is my proposal:
Mary, please forgive me, as you know English is not my native language. And I am not a poet. But I mean it from my heart.
My angel,
Five years ago, I will always remember the day When fate made us meet, blissful Alaskan moments in May Earth spun around us and a journey began Love, warmth, happiness, enough the years to span.
The longer it lasts the more grows our bond And with 80 still – of you I will be fond Whatever happens, I will stay at your side Through good and bad, together let us stride
No second with you was ever wasted
You are the sweetest I have ever tasted
We have spent so many years – why not a life?
Mary, will you marry me – and become my wife?
Mary, if you have received that and have recognized me, then give me a sign so that I can continue with the romantic part of my proposal…
