This part struck me as kind of odd. Weird dentists.

There is no sensery nerve endings in the skull or brain, so it makes sense. How you wouldnt he notice the impact is beyond me also, and why wouldnt there be blood?

What an idiot.

unbefuckingleavable. Too bad it just gave him a toothache, and didn't make him a genius, a la homer.

What an idiot, and the guy had no medical insurance.
It doesn't sound like he was rich or anything, so it sounds like he's going to spend the rest of his life paying back the $100,000.

Man, I thought this guy was stupid. On CNN news in the morning they showed a lady who had been stabbed in the neck with a knife and didn't know it. Apparently she thought someone had thrown a rock at her or something. They even showed surveillance footage of her in the grocery store with the knife still lodged in her neck.
