Got to love those translation skills

Just come back from the dentist after my one week check-up. As I am sitting there with his hands in my mouth (and, quite often, his nurse's as well since he is a believer in "4-handed dentistry", apparently!), we have these great conversations:
Dentist: So, where do you live?
Me: Ah igg ocary
[Translation: I live locally]
Dentist:Really close?
Me: Ech, o ose at I orked o-uh is unning
[Translation: Yes, so close that I walked over this morning]
Dentist: If you walked over, I must make sure I don't give you so much anaesthetic that your feet go numb. MWAHAHAHA!
Me: A a a. Ow et uay ong e oo eek!
[Translation: Ha ha ha. Now get away from me you freak!]
OK, he didn't really do the evil villain "Laugh of Doom" and I didn't really tell him to get away from me. I mean, how could he considering that he had inserted his entire 12 setting cutlery set in my mouth? Still, the ability of dentists to translate those bizarre conversations is their most amazing skill - forget all the root canal work and jaw reconstructions, I want to know who teaches them to translate openmouthese!
