This was before 24 hr dentists, vets, etc. , so he had to suffer thru the entire weekend using only the best product of Lynchburg, Tn for solace. Come Monday am, the dentist looks into the mud pit and says he can prolly save the tooth.. Our hero says: HELL NO, pull that sucker NOW! Which he did. Thereupon, Shrake takes flight from chair of torture, replendent in the trappings of such an event, straight to the sidewalk in front of the dentist's office...with the offending enamel- coated devil... places said object on the NYC sidewalk and applies all deliberate downward- directed force upon this object, and says: NOW HURT SOMEBODY YOU SON OF A BITCH....
