@Bess Barber ha ha! About like the dentist getting you numbed up and mouth pried open and secured and asking you questions that require clear defined answers. One dentist I had for many years would ask a question such as, "Can you remember the elderly Hawaiian ladies long last name that lived over behind Piggy Wiggly about 1963?" and all I could do is make unintelligible sounds and he would answer with things like, "Yes, that sounds right, Tagaloalaga.
It looked and felt almost like this when the stuff I was mixing on my work table conflagrated below my face in the 8th. grade, 14 years old. A lifetime ago, but that image remains in my memory, probably burnt-in. Frank

Bill and Sue were at the country fair. Sue wanted to go on an antique open cockpit airplane ride. She said it is ONLY ten dollars. Bill said no because ten dollars is ten dollars. They argued and the pilot got upset at their bickering and said if they could both take the ride and say NOT ONE WORD, then the ride was free. If they said one word or even made a sound, it was ten dollars. The pilot did all kind of tricks, determine to collect his ten dollars. Bill got dizzy and fell out when they were flying upside down. They landed and the pilot said, “Well the ride is free. Hey where is Bill.” Sue says, “Oh he fell out on the upside down thing. He has dizzy spells when on his head.” “What,” the pilot gasp. “Why on earth did you not say something when he started getting dizzy?” “Because as Bill said, ten dollars is ten dollars.” Sue replied.
A cowboy went into a rural Arizona saloon that still had a hitching post. He had a beer. He left and discovered someone had stolen his horse. He walked back in the saloon, fast drew his colt, twirled it around and shot a hole in the ceiling and said, “Whichever one of you coyotes that stole my horse, best return it.” Silence. “Ok, I am going to sit down have one more beer and if my horse isn’t returned, I will do what I did in Laredo, Texas and I HATE doing what I did in Laredo, but I will do what I must,” He said with one hand on his holstered Colt. He finished his beer and went out and saw his horse hitched. As he mounted, the bartender came out and said. ”Hey cowboy, just curious, what happened in Laredo?” The cowboy shrugged and said, “I had to walk home.”
A cowboy and a biker were being executed on the same day for heinous crimes. The Warden asked the cowboy what was his last request. The cowboy said, “Play my favorite song, Achy Breaky Heart.” “Granted,” the Warden replied. The warden asked the biker his last request and the biker replied, “Please execute me first.”
