NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- New Orleans police said a man who was shot by his brother was spared serious injury or death when the bullet bounced off his gold tooth.

Police said Waltdell Davis, 20, used a .22-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver to shoot his brother, Walter Davis, 22, after an argument about Walter smoking his younger brother's marijuana, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Wednesday.

I always be wonderin’ why almost everyone be having at least one gold tooth. Do you suppose the ones with a diamond, do they be for catching armor piercing rounds?

Many years agom San Francisco police picked up a guy in an alley, and jailed him for “drunk & disorderly”. He kept complaing of a severe headache, so long after a hangover should have gone away, they had him examined.

The doc found 9 .22 slugs burrowed around under his scalp, next to his skull...but no skull fracture.

No, the diamond ones are for biting the gold to test if they are real gold.

You have to remember Pirate Long John Silver biting the gold coins in the old movie to know such important things.

It just delayed the inevitable.

C’mon DARPA, WHERE are the Kevlar Combat Denture Covers??

Next time use a bigger round — a 9mm Para or .40 S&W or .45 ACP will do it.

It would appear that New Orleans has fully recovered from Katrina.

Did you see the 10 baby animals pictures at the link? There are also pictures of Ronaldus Magnus and Mrs. Magnus.

Oh, and of course the failed Cain-and-Abel story too. I’m glad Walt didn’t die, and it’s a good thing that Walt went back to jail.

Gee, killing your brother because G-d favors him, and you’re consumed with your own jealous rage is one thing, but murdering for marijuana?

[Yardstick]

At this point the question is pretty much is there a reason NOT to have a gold tooth?

[Slings and Arrows]

The theological implications are staggering.

In our town a few years ago we had a young man messing with his girlfriend’s mind by acting like he was going to shoot himself right in front of her. The .22 went off, stiking one of his teeth and deflecting up into his brain, killing him. Very sad and terminally stupid.

I tremble.
