A new client comes in and tells me she is terrified. I immediately start in with my uplifting banter to put her at ease. After the first rip, she says "this is excruciating!" I said, "no sweety, you used the wrong "e" word. It's exhilarating." She says, "No it's not. It's fucking excruciating." I replied, "no, it's fucking exhilarating." She started to laugh. At this point, I was almost done. Three more rips, and she was off the table.
