\u00a0Last week was time for the nine-month dental check-up. The dentist is an engaging guy, lots of times funny and always producing at least one clever observation.<\/p>\n

This time, it was about cruising.<\/p>\n

“So you’re going on a cruise?” he said. “I went on a cruise once and I wasn’t worried about putting on weight. You know what the experts say?”<\/p>\n

With a high-speed drill doing whatever high-speed drills do, response was impossible.<\/p>\n

“They say \u2014 and ‘they’ are the experts in gaining weight \u2014 that’s it’s physiologically impossible to add more than two pounds in one week. It’s also physiologically impossible to lose more than two pounds in one week. Physiologically impossible!”<\/p>\n

We\u2019d heard his reasoning before and in the interim nothing had happened to us on a one-week cruise to refute his contention. In other words, weight gain for a week was two pounds, or less.<\/p>\n

So as many avid cruisers prepare for an escape this winter, remember what our dentist says and don\u2019t take any guilt into the dining room or buffet.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s going to argue?<\/p>\n

With dental fingers and tools in your mouth, who can?<\/p>\n
