Hello there friends and 'others'! The Lady in the radiator here with an Überpoll!
Now, I recently had my wisdom teeth removed. Hoping for some sort of knowledge to be gained from the experience, I was eager to go through with the procedure. I went to the office, sat down in a chair, fought off the needle wielding surgeon, and then woke up 40 minutes later, numb as a four year old who just had a "friendly" visit with their old, creepy uncle. But that was three days ago, and nothing has changed, save for the unimaginable pain that comes along with having four teeth carved out of your gums. Which brings me to my questions:
Is it just me, or is it actually a stretch calling the devil incarnates in the back of your mouth "wisdom" teeth?
Did you gain any enlightenment from yours?
Am I not alone in the thinking that instead of calling them "wisdom" teeth, they should be called "Unnecessary instruments of pain and torture" teeth?

In Heaven, everything is fine...
Err, uh, didn't they suggest clove oil? I hear that clove oil numbs the pain dead.
Then there's always cocaine...

i like how they use a chisel to get them out.
its kind of cool to see a dentist with a hammer going to work on your face, and all y ou feel is a dull tap and a sinking feeling of drea, knowing htat its going to hurt like a motherfucker when you wake up.

I'm all for anything that gets you legally goofed-up on nitrous and a legit prescription for hydrocodone.

I learned my lesson with Loritabs the hard way. Yesterday, I found out that I am very very allergic to them. Very, very allergic.
=============================================
Now that's a crying shame if I ever did hear of one.
I've got a PO box if you want to get them off your hands.
Joking. Kind of.
I woke up in the middle of the operation while the dentist was breaking out my bottom two, after successfully extracting the top two. He said the only thing I said was "more nitrous".

My bottom ones were coming in at a 45. I think they came out in 4 pieces each. If that's your xray, you've got it easy.

They come at the point in your life when you're becoming more wise. Did you ever get any milk from your milk teeth?

I remember mine hurting like a mother. Plus, my one incision got infected and my face got swollen.

I found the meaning of life while getting mine extracted
No I won't share
A good place to look, find an early twenties blonde with a nice figure + 2 bottles of champangne + swanky Vegas hotel room.
Hell yes

When I was in medical school I heard they chose wisdom teeth cause unnecessary instruments of pain
and torture teeth wasn't as catchy.
