dentistry

If you want to read a truly funny story about dentistry, check out Micah's weblog on www.snellshell.com. I went to the dentist today and there was nothing funny about it whatsoever. The word is that I'm going to have my wisdom teeth jerked. Apparently the Creator of the Universe saw fit to give us four extra teeth at the back, so that when a few got knocked out in primordial mammoth hunts, they'd be able to push forward as a replacement.

For the average canadian young man, this isn't a problem - since the average canadian young man plays hockey, and could probably use several more than for.

I, unfortunately, am one of those what my Uncle would call "artsy-fartsy types". I rarely get in fights and almost never intentionally endanger my teeth.

So, if you should see me in the street in the next couple of weeks, pick up a large blunt object and aim for the crooked white area below my nose. I promise to thank you.
