According to the news, "A Walmart customer shopping around for a new wallet found 10 human teeth while looking through a wallet he was about to buy on Saturday night."
Why, that's worth over $30.00 on eBay!
That mysterious shopper must've felt like Cash & Kristofferson on Sunday mornin'.
1. It's possible to mysterious shopper put the teeth there himself. Or he may have found them there. Either way it's a weird tale? Foul-play? Prank? Symbolic rite?
ReplyDelete2. There are no bids yet on the ebay molars. Daurade has an appointment on March 20, however, to either repair or remove a split upper left molar.
3. Why Johnny Cash and Kristofferson?
Googling "ritual tooth removal" btw, shows one thing. Intentional tooth removal occurred in Neolithic Italy and proto-historic Japan, as well as sub-Saharan Africa. Haven't read the articles yet but it would appear that in some contexts it's more than crude dentistry but associated with some sort of ritual ablation....
ReplyDeleteAlso: You are on fire!

ReplyDeleteVideo of the teeth here.
ReplyDeleteAlso just struck me as humorous that the teeth were found in a place called "Fall-mouth."
