Adventures in Orthodontics 2
I confess to blasphemy, since non-Catholics cannot confess to heresy,
"...for punishment does not take place primarily and per se for the
correction and good of the person punished, but for the public good in
order that others may become terrified and weaned away from the evils
they would commit." (1578 Handbook for Inquisitors)
Vanity, I have committed the sin of vanity.
I'd like to think my tolerance to pain is pretty good.
Good enough that there is at least one broken bone in my foot
that has never been set, on which I spent a whole season continuing
to play basketball & run track. Good enough that it usually
takes the flood of adrenaline hitting my stomach for me to register
that the immediate desire to puke is tied to what must be pain.
Torquemada's assistants, otherwise known as orthodontist's
technicians, swiftly brought me to this state today. There are
things that just should not go together...2 technicians, my teeth,
and a torque wrench.
Tonight, the inebriation shall commence.
On a better note, two of my girlfriends set me up with a very pretty
fellow last weekend. Well done ladies.
