Has anybody ever asked you to hold their teeth?

True Story #52, from the files of WTF?

11PM, a T-shaped bar in St. Paul, MN- 1992

They called him Nail-gun and nobody knew why and nobody ever asked. He had a crooked flat-top haircut and wore a white collared shirt and blue jeans. He was a drunk's drunk and we used to go just to listen to him talk.

Two tables to the south, a herd of Viking's fans and cheap beer.

The leader of the herd referred to Nail-gun as buzzhead, twice.

Now, Nail-gun, he was in his late '60's and he only moved when he felt like it.

Fan- Tell us a story, buzzhead!

Nail-gun- *sips his liquor*

Fan- Aww, let me rub your buzzhead, old timer.

Nail-gun- (to me) Will you hold my teeth?

Me- *doesn't say no*

We waited outside the cop shop for two hours, just so we could give him his teeth back. I don't know who bailed him out, but he walked out slowly, his wet red and white collar as crooked as his hair, and he asked me if I had washed them. I shook my head. He took his teeth, hopped a curb, and headed on home.

    i suggest doing this twice a day, or maybe three times in the summer. Taking care of a lip piercing is a really tedious job but when it heals properly it will be so worth it. Anyways, you need Q- tips, sea salt, warm water, and mouth wash. First thing, brush your teeth (like always) but be careful not to hit the piercing. Second gargle some mouth wash and be sure to get it all around the bottom front of your lip so the inner- side of your hole will be thoroughly cleaned (it might burn really bad bad but that means it's working). Then mix the warm water with the sea salt and soak a Q tip in to the mix. All you have to do is just dab it around the healing spot. Or, you can just dip your whole chin and your lips into the mix and just stay there for a while.

    LOL

    you waited for TWO hours?!!!!!! why, if you didn't even know he was being bailed out? why not just go back to the bar? he would have shown up eventually.

    no, i have never been asked to hold someone's teeth.
