One would have thought that by now, in the evolution of human kind, teeth would be better designed evil:
I mean this 16 up / 16 down mullarkey's a bit Heath Robinson compared to the dextrous 27 bones in each hand.
My dental hygiene has always been orderly and by the book and the new Braun electric does a superb job - apart from stopping every 30 seconds, allegedly to let you know you've been brushing your teeth for... err 30 secs. (What is that about?)
I had a molar lose a bit of filling the other day so made an appointment with Mr Dentist. Then, at the weekend, half the bloody tooth cracks off mid toast-and-marmalade evil:
So, this afternoon, time for judgement... straight in with the anaesthetic... oooh, the odd loose nerve still there... we can patch that up temporarily but it's root canal and a crown for you !! AArrrgggghhh cry:
Back home feeling punch drunk and slightly dopey for a couple of hours again and mourning the loss of another part of me, let alone the cost cry:
Why can't we evolve just two teeth? One upper, one lower... a nice semi-circular gnasher that doesn't keep falling apart confused:

At last, proof that Berek is more highly-evolved than the rest of us.
(Incidentally, I saw Berek Fingers on a lunchtime menu today. I did not partake.)

This happened to me, except I was only eating a banana at the time, and was 6000 miles from my dentist, whom I had seen less than 5 days before, evil: (just to make sure I did not have a problem whilst I was away for 3 months or so.....) Bah!

Sadly, they do... specially a Cream of Asparagus cry:
Mind you, a fine Consomm? slips down without trace ;)

rubschin:
The definition of "Highly Evolved" must also have evolved considerably in that case.

Very wise.
