Except for the fire and brimstone bible thumper yelling and carrying on on a busy pedestrian street corner. But then I stopped and noticed a guy in a wheelchair about 20 feet behind the preacher, shouting "Bull crap!" every 30 seconds. Never get into a debate with street bible thumpers. I've made that mistake before now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea that this is because they converted you for a few hours. You were walking around afterwards muttering "they...they're right, it all makes sense now..."

He (The supposed Dentist) went to pull a tooth and the tooth exploded into a million tiny bits leaving the root in, this needed to be dug out on both occasions with a guy kneeling on the table for one, I fainted for the other . Many a stitch was placed and much blood ensued, how I gargled. Edited June 26, 2017 by Amsterdam_Neil_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I get canker sores on the side of my tongue with some frequency. I think it's due to all the hot sauce I use. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
