Would you rather buy a short sale or have a root canal?

I had a root canal yesterday, and I was just asking myself this very question.

Root canal, by a long shot.  :)

At least with a root canal I knew when it would be over.  In fact I knew it would be over at some point, period.  (The unknown is the hardest part of the short sale process.)  The best part?  The novocaine.  Oh, and the valium before hand so I wouldn't be as nervous about the novocaine (fear of needles).  Stuff to help with needle and pain anxiety and stuff to prevent me from feeling anything while he drilled my tooth.

Yes, root canals are much less painful than buying short sale homes.  You heard it here first.
