Why the f**k are they called wisdom teeth?

[Green Lantern]

F**king bastard teeth is more apropos as noone wants them there anyway. Anyway, one of mine has been giving severe trouble for a week or so, and I finally got into the dentist today. The one that was bugging me (and has kept me off of solids for the past week) was absessed and surrounded by a canker sore, so he recommended pulling it on the spot. I readily agreed... turned out he had to cut bone to get to it... once the novocaine wore off it started hurting like hell. I know it will be worth it in the long run, but right now it doesn't feel like it.

[Hades]

I have to get braces and my wisdom teeth removed...

 

[Kaboom]

because they come in later in life than your first and second set

 

[Muze]

because they teach you that life comes with pain and suffering.

That explains it...now I really want to get mine removed

 

[Babs Gordon]

I've got all my wisdom teeth in and I'm keeping them. Does that make me.... nevermind I won't say it. Lame joke.

 

[Outsiderzedge]

Yes, it makes you wise!

And no, that joke isn't lame!
