The Tooth Lengthening

Man, things have been hectic over the past few days due to work. Fortunately for me, I get to spend all of tomorrow at a place that's a guaranteed good time: the periodontist's office. According to my understanding, a periodontist is a gum doctor. I'm hoping this understanding is incorrect, and it actually means 'laser tag arena'. Why my insurance would cover visits to the laser tag arena, I'm not sure, but I suspect it'd be because a firm understanding of laser-based war tactics would only lengthen my life.

The real reason I'm doing all of this is because I need a tooth lengthened. This brings the obvious question: why not shorten my gums, or perhaps magnify my skull? Why not replace my entire lower jaw with shark teeth while we're playing God? The answer, of course, is that I'd never swear to use my shark teeth for only good.

Like everybody else, my thoughts go out to all of the Hokies out there.
