biohazard

was at the dentist yesterday morning and as i waited, a lady walked out of the consultation room. she went up to the reception and said something. i could hardly hear what she said. next thing i knew, the dentist emerged from the consultation room and said oh, mrs so and so, i understand you wanted your tooth back (i think the dentist said "tooth"). but actually, i have discarded it and it is quite dirty, you sure you want it back? the woman nodded. ok, ok, will get it for you. i will put it in the biohazard bag. it's quite dirty ok? so please make sure you do not take it out of the biohazard bag ya? keep it in the biohazard bag ya?

i thought he emphasized the words "biohazard bag" a little too often. and clearly, the lady seemed to understand the importance of his emphasis and responded with a very serious nod and an ok. then the dentist turned his head into the consultation room and shouted, ok, ok put it inside the ziploc bag!

i almost burst out laughing at that moment. haha... well, i have full confidence in the dentist and understood what he meant when he said "biohazard bag". and with so many repetitions of the term "biohazard bag", i had pictured the "biohazard bag" to be some big time dangerous looking container. so...

hahaha, i should have known better.
