daily life: wise words.

I must be too intelligent for my own good, that's because my Mandibular Third Molars are coming in, or to be more precise they have been coming in for the last 3 years. It's reasonably common for some or all of your wisdom teeth to partially erupt, but it frickin' hurts and I've had to live with Vertical Impaction for 3 years.

What is the point of Wisdom Teeth? I certainly didn't sit around thinking 'I sure wish I had a few more molars because because the 28 teeth I already have just aren't cutting it for me'.

They are just another evolutionary dead end, bits of the body that humans haven't needed for thousands of years, probably required when monkey-men ate food that was difficult to chew. Or if you don't believe in Darwin, it's because God is a douche and wants me to suffer.

English Teeth, English Teeth!

Shining in the sun

A part of British heritage

Aye, each and every one.

English Teeth, Happy Teeth!

Always having fun

Clamping down on bits of fish

And sausages half done.

English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!

Hear them click! and clack!

Let's sing a song of praise to them -

Three Cheers for the Brown, Grey and Black.
