24.August.2009. Today in weird news, a woman in South Carolina was awarded two million dollars when her dentist pulled all sisteen of her top teeth, instead of the THREE he was only supposed to pull. Hmmm...I could crack about the fact that a woman in South Carolina with all her top teeth is a rarity to begin with, and of course she'd be upset to lose them all-she's probably the only one in her family to have all her originals. Maybe, possibly, she married into the family (maybe a family with an only son-so he couldn't hardly marry his sister). It could have been some weird wedding gift-a rite of passage, so to speak, so she'd fit in with the family more.
Then of course, I could make jokes about her dentist-possibly a hilbilliy himself, with just a guarantee of "If you drink till you drop, I'll pull your teeth out with my mama's pliers-no charge! Just invite me to your next drinking party!". But I mean, come ON, man...did you really think that she wouldn't notice thirteen more teeth missing in her mouth?!?? Seriously...this isn't just one or two, this it THIRTEEN! Give me a break!
Hey, I guess at least she got some money out of it. Just so there's not a rash of rednecks getting their teeth pulled so they can play the Beverly Hillbillies and become millionaires. Oh wait. That'll never happen, I forgot-the woman was a rare specimen.

P.P.S. Editor's Note: I have nothing at all against hillbillies, rednecks, or the south. Some of my best friends are rednecks through and through. I've even been considered one myself. And I've BEEN in the southern states...it's beautiful area. I just like to crack jokes, so don't take offense. Smile, Spatzi78
