Just a neurotic text message to his dentist. We recommend not discussing world politics with your dentist though. The gnomes in my basement texted me these reasons last night:
"The Flossing-Foreign Policy Paradox": Discussing international politics with your dentist may lead to a heated debate about the most effective foreign policy—while your mouth is wide open and full of dental tools. It's hard to floss when you're busy debating the nuances of diplomacy.
"The Root Canal Realpolitik": Your dentist might be more focused on drilling into your molars than debating global affairs. Attempting to discuss international politics mid-procedure could result in some unintended consequences—like a novocaine-induced rant about geopolitics.
"The Cavity-CIA Conspiracy": Your dentist may suspect that your interest in international politics is just a cover for gathering intelligence on their dental practice. Attempting to engage in a discussion about global affairs could result in them filling your head with more than just fluoride.
"The Plaque-Propaganda Paradox": Your dentist might have strong opinions about international politics, but they're too busy scraping plaque off your teeth to share them. Attempting to discuss global affairs could lead to some awkward moments—like trying to respond to a question with a mouthful of dental instruments.
"The Mouthguard-Militarism Mishap": Your dentist might be more interested in protecting your teeth than discussing international conflict. Attempting to engage them in a debate about geopolitics could lead to them recommending a mouthguard to protect against the grinding of teeth—yours and theirs.

Conflict of interest
Hopefully it was just academic. We have 5 more jobs a mortician should most likely avoid:
Wedding Planner: It might be a bit unsettling for clients to have their wedding plans overseen by someone who spends their days dealing with the deceased. Plus, the mortician's penchant for black might clash with the bride's vision of a white wedding.
Pet Groomer: While morticians are experts at preparing bodies for their final resting place, grooming fluffy pets might not be their forte. Clients might also be a tad unnerved if they catch a whiff of formaldehyde while their poodle gets a trim.
Food Critic: With their acute sense of smell, morticians might struggle to stomach some of the less-than-fragrant dishes they encounter on the job. Plus, their expertise in embalming might lead to some questionable food reviews, such as "This dish lacks flavor, much like an unembalmed corpse."
Haunted House Tour Guide: While morticians are accustomed to spending time in dark and eerie surroundings, they might inadvertently turn a haunted house tour into a lecture on proper embalming techniques. "And here we have the ghost of Mrs. McGillicuddy, who would have benefited greatly from a bit of arterial embalming..."
Cruise Ship Entertainer: While morticians have a knack for keeping a straight face in even the most somber of situations, their dry sense of humor might not always resonate with vacationers looking for lively entertainment. Plus, jokes about lifeboats and "sleeping with the fishes" might fall flat.
