Never underestimate the tendency of contemporary muttonheads to shorten their planetary existence. Suddenly, laughing gas, Nitrous Oxide, is the drug of preference to send these wackos into recreational oblivion. This brings to mind the sad story of one my former students, a gifted individual graduated by the Duke University School of Dentistry. He turned out to be an unusually skilled dentist specializing in cosmetic dentistry, but he succumbed to depravity of nitrous misuse of his own self, but even worse of his female dental patients. He turned into a serial groper, seriously affecting lives of his victims and bringing shame to his family. Presently, his dental license has been revoked and he is serving time in the Big House. A truly sordid affair.
