Once having a bowel movement over a bear trap I had forgotten about.
The other was when I hit the end of the chain.![]()

Waited for a calving supply shipment off the bus, was home at 2 AM this morning.

I think it will be a day or two before I'm chewing on that side. The two root canals I had a while back were a breeze compared to this.

I lanced the abscess with a souvlaki stick lol.

I "floated" a tooth one time with the file on my Leatherman. The tooth had a sharp edge that was cutting my tongue, but after a few swipes with that file, the problem was solved. The price was right, too.
One time I took a girl out for supper. She had just had a wisdom tooth pulled that morning, so was not feeling too spiffy. She had spaghetti while I ordered a steak.
Time was hanging heavy for me the following week, so I sent her a card. I drew a picture of a cowboy with his lariat dallied to the saddlehorn. A girl had her arms around a tree, and the lariat was tied on to a piece of string which was attached to her tooth. My little two-bit rhyme went:
Why did you pay the dentist
Such an exhorbitant fee,
When I could so easily
Have done the job for free?
:roll: :wink:
