    i have another great tooth story... smashed my face and blacked out while doing a 360 at grade 7 school crossing guard skate at local ice rink. front top tooth folded back them forward again, blood all over ice, severed roots, had to root canal. girl skated away unimpressed.

    fast forward to late twenties, root canal failing unbeknownst to me, flossing one day, floss goes totally over my tooth and i'm like uhhhhh... one whole tooth root thing has decayed away due to gums fighting the whitening bleach in my tooth.

    so, have to get an implant. step 1, remove tooth, sew up. see local dental surgeon who is basically one day from his retirement 'n all shaky and squinty, who proceeds to massacre my tooth from my face and ever so slowly, stitch my gums up all slow shaky like... all done.

    punchline is coming... on my way out, i must have walked by two nurses plus the nurse who was helping him plus the receptionist who was dealing with my $$$$$$$$ payment for like 10 mins... and no one mentions anything 'funny'...

    so i waltz out, go immediately go across the street and put in a prescrip for T3's and have to wait an hour as it's opening for that London Drugs... every senior citizen in town is their filling their prescrips. every minute as the face freezing wore off the throbbing was getting increasingly painful... i could feel my heart beating in my face. so I may have looked agitated... do do do, I'm killing time in store wandering around for an hour and had several people, kids and old ladies look at me all funny and disapproving-like as they walked by...

    finally, i get weirded out just enough to go find a mirror to look at myself, and find... my face covered in blood spatter dots and smudges. like i had just devoured a live pigeon. the end.
