Sol said the other day that Dentists have the highest suicide rate out of any other profession. Promising right?
I've had a lot of experience with dentists... Chinese dentists that is. There is a large difference. Sword fighting with nikki took out one the majority of one of my front teeth. (To be fair to truth and nikkis honour, we might have been kicking balloons around - when she tripped me.)
The greatly cheap Nan tou dentist friend "helpfully" decided that us special foreign customers should be entitled to the best products. He helpfully experimented with a "new" & "innovative" mush that he formed into a new tooth.. with mental prongs which he inserted into the old one. All painful, and tidy enough. It lasted for about 6 months when slowly but surely the metal corroded and made my front tooth black.
At this point I lost all respect for dentists.
No it was at the next point where we went back to the same area and found the original evil dentist's lair to be gone. No wonder. But it wasn't like we had a receipt or anything.
We went to another one which had a much better reputation, probably because it was nearer to the city. The second helpful dentist there was far from cheap yet very smooth. He weasled a hefty sum from us to fix my front tooth. (Filling the corroded one way down.. me walking around front toothless for a week. I almost starved.. Etc)
Smooth dentist was away next time, good thing for him. I returned because 3 months after getting a cap put on the (very downsized) tooth, it promptly fell out while I was eating a bowl of rice.. needless to say I didn't exactly notice at first.
Good thing we had a receipt, another dentist whom I hope is still alive fixed mine and it still stands. Gasp. Shock. "Dont drink cold or hot water.. or bite on an apple." I do all three often.
I still have dreams of losing all my teeth. Now and then I have these ideas of scenarios all equally funny of how id lose my tooth this time.
Its just obvious: Never ever sword fight OR play balloons with nikki.

Don't tell people not to sword fight me. (As much as i enjoyed you saying it, poopie.)
That would be fine if you had lost a tooth from swordfighting with me, but we weren't, we were hitting balloons at 'quiet time'! AHA the truth is out and the lie is shown!
How come we couldnt find the other half of your tooth afterwards?
Leelu, leelu how i love you,
How i've ruined you ore and ore. :|
Leelu, Leelu precious Leelu,
Oh for a chance to disturb you more.
As the dentist was asking Dad if you wanted the job, it started to sound like a proposal of marriage. UGH
Look what happens to nik when i go away for a little while.
Yeah i know. I figured it was better then telling the WHOLE truth.. some of which you might have forgotten. Heehee. Didn't you trip me over?
He asked Dad that? cool.
No Leelu i did not 'trip you over'. That would have taken much msvcle power, perhaps too much even for me. You make it sound like a deliberate premeditated act. but uh there was no act. goodbye.
It was a blatantly accidental act.
..with swords.
