blacksmith dentistry

[blafen]

hey yall i havent been in in a while my shops been out of commision for a while and im working on getting a computer, but any you gotta hear this my friend abe has a bad tooth right and hes in major pain but he needs tires for his truck so he comes up to my house instead of the dentist and convinces me to help him to pull his tooth out (i jokingly offered the use of tongs but he declined) and so anyway hes trying to loosen the tooth before we pull it and he says " man if only i could bang on it with something" and i say jokingly "what like an iceskate and a rock" and he says yeah dude just like that so i go and get him a pin punch and hammer and he sets against the painful tooth and asks me to whack i with a hammer so i did and it whent "tink" and so i tried again "tink" and it doesnt move so finally he hands my dad a pair of pliers and asks him to pull it out and so we open his mouth and shine a light on the tooth only to notice that the pain is being caused by the two teeth behind it (they had been pulled out and the roots where left in the gums" and so i apoligized for hitting his tooth with a ball pein hammer and advized him not to go to a blacksmith for his dental work.

I was having a rough day until I read your story. It made me laugh out loud, and I was alone.
It don't get much better than that!

My grandfather was a carpenter & one of his pals showed up one day in a slightly (or more) tipsy state & asked him to pull a tooth for him. Pappaw sat him down & reached for the tooth with an old pair of pliers, at which point the guy asked him, "Ed, you arent drunk too are you?" For Christmas that year Dad made Pappaw a cedar sign which read "W.E. Cornish-Painless extractions"
