Wisdom , tooth and End of the world


Imagine a life without teeth, how will you bite into a fresh crisp reddish apple. The little juice that wriggles out of that shiny apple would never come close to the costliest apple juice in the world. What if there is no world at all ? Would you mind losing your teeth if there is not going to be a world around when you come back from your dentists air conditioned den ? That's why I don't like dentists , the same reason many of us don't like dentist. Just that you didn't know.

A friend, who recently suffered from oral problem, had something to say about extraction of his wisdom tooth. And more about the problems if the world ended sooner than it's supposed to be. (This is a mobile chat.)

My friend: Wisdom tooth extracted successfully..

Me : So the wise man has lost his wisdom.

My friend : Actually you become wise when you lose them.

Me : Nice try dude, but I expect a proof of concept when I want to believe something. And by the way do you mean that a guy with a wisdom tooth is not wise?

My friend : I was ignorant about tooth hygiene.It cost me two canals , one wisdom and I became wise. Add a whole month's salary to the list, I'm a lot wiser than you can imagine.

Me: A costly lesson. In that case money taught you to be wise, not the wisdom tooth.

My friend : I wish you lost yours too. That'd be fun, I'll welcome you to the gang of wise men without wisdom tooth. I'm going to start a community in FB.

Me: In your dreams, I've bought a new tooth brush, ayurvedic paste and a big bottle of green colgate plax. Thanks for your loss.

My friend : That won't help you, Nostradamus had predicted end of the world in 2012 and I predict that you would lose your wisdom tooth before that. You'd sit at home browsing about root canal and wisdom tooth just like what I did last weekend.

Me: Thanks for that assurance. You are the best well wisher I've ever come across. Now I know how you became wise, it's the internet. It's just natural that you have knowledge about teeth and problems, that doesn't mean you are wise.

My friend : Dude no more talks about teeth. It's so swollen. Life goes on, with or without wisdom and wisdom tooth.

Me: Until Nostradamus's day when the world would end.

My friend: Are you teasing me?

Me: If you think so.

My friend: Nostradamus has predicted that the world would end on day of peak solar activity.

Me: Nostru is a such a kind man that he's has to write it all down to frighten poor souls even after he died, it's just a publicity stunt to market himself.

My friend:I'm serious, The Sun would be in the centre of milky way , and the solar flares would weaken earth's magnetic fields.

Me: Magenetic poles get reversed, I've heard all of it. I don't believe any of them. I don't want to be scared.

My friend: No satelites, no mobiles ..

Me: You mean not even Vodafone 3G zoo zoo can save us?

My friend: Yes. Not even the Vodafone 3G zoo zoo. And if it's too severe we may lose the magnetic pull.

Me: Booh booh....

My friend: That's good. You have begun your journey to understand larger problems...

Me: Not really, I'm just worried that Ill have to die a virgin then.

My friend: Yeah...That thought did cross my mind. I guess Nostru could extend his deadline for some more time at least for this purpose.

Note:

This is an exagerration of an actual conversation with a friend, and most of the facts stated are supposed to be facts rather than figment of my fiendish mind.
