What does "I'm kinda' on pins and needles right now" mean? Name of Comedy Short: "I'm kinda' on pins and needles right now!" Characters: Dr. Burns, Chiropractor Tina, Patient Setting: Examination room in Dr. Burns office Script Doctor Burns: "Good morning Tina, how are you today?" Tina: "I'm fine Dr. Burns, how are you?" Doctor Burns: "I'm good. So, are you ready to get started?" (Tina nods her head.) Doctor Burns: "Okay, I need you to go into the bathroom, take off all of your clothes and put this gown on. (Doctor Burns hands Tina a gown.) When you're done, come back out and sit on the table." (Doctor Burns points to the examination table.) (A look of total panic spreads across Tina's face. Her voice shakes when she speaks.) Tina: "Ahhh Doctor Burns, I didn't know that I was going to be examined today. I'm not really prepared. To tell you the truth, i'm kinda' on pins and needles right now?" (A look of understanding appears on Doctor Burns face then he reaches over and pats Tina reassuringly on the shoulder.) Doctor Burns: "Don't worry Tina, there's nothing to be scared of, this examination is not going to hurt one little bit." (Tina rolls her eyes and a small laugh escapes her mouth.) Tina: "I wish it were that simple Doctor. When I say that i'm on pins and needles about this examination, it doesn't mean that i'm scared, it unfortunately means that I haven't shaved my legs and bikini line for 6 months." P.S. Hey gals, if your legs are hairy and prickly enough to cause enough friction to power a cordless phone battery, then it's definitely time to shave your legs!
