Nothing. The tooth fairy couldn't breach the Iron Curtain.

Have a very nice day.

And you try telling the young people of today that, and they accuse of stealing Monty Python jokes and generally being quite, quite mad.

You were lucky.
I LOVE that sketch!

Depends, if by them you mean people who were handed money on a plate for little work, then for the most part, no, my friends consistently had far more money than me as an allowance, sometimes pushing upwards of 100 pounds a month and still having parents buying own stuff, and I worked my ass of in a pub washing dishes for crap pay and no appreciation for 2 years (part time), so I have both an appreciation of money and the knowledge that whilst I was occassionally spoiled, it wasnt regular enough to produce spoiled brat psychosis. (not that any of my mates are spoiled brats, mind you)

However, if you meant that I was one of those oddballs who roam the streets quoting Monty Python at passing strangers, rambling about Moose and with a rather low serious postcount/bizarre post count ratio, then yep, that's me.

I had to get all my baby teeth pulled, every single one of them. And I only got a quarter for each...

I got a quarter for every one I lost before like the age of six and then every one after that I got a buck. The cheap witch

A dollar piece per tooth. The nice big Eisenhower ones, not those ugly little SBA's. I kept them in a piggy bank until I lost my last tooth, after which all my money was stolen.

As my dad put it: "You too will fall asleep in the chair and wake up in your bed."

Wait, are you getting general anesthesia? I just got a bit of gas and was wide awake through the whole thing. I just had to wait a little while in the chair until I was steady enough to get home.

Are you serious? £100 a month? That's almost $200. Damn, I was jealous of the kids who got $10 a month.

Stupid tooth fairies (Hey if something wants to give me money for shit i don't need i'll believe in it!)

I feel spoiled, 20 NIS, which then ammounted to around 5$.
Strangly, I didn't go out and buy candy with it.

Whatever do your parents want with you teeth?

No Tooth Fairy for Gothamites when I was a kid. Smart move on her part-she propably would have been mugged within seconds of crossing the city limits.

All right, I can't remember, OK? Historically I'm almost a century old, it's a wonder I'm not senile.
That, and I'd like to see what happens to your long-term memory when you're hit over the head every third issue.

<---- 12 teeth pulled by dentist. I don't even remember how much I got for the ones that came out on their own.

Andrew J. · Post by **Andrew J.** » 2003-12-03 05:42pm

1 dollar American. I always felt a little embarassed about it, because my parents would walways make such a big deal out of it. I mean, anyone can just let their teeth fall out naturally.

Except Admiral Valdemar, apparently.

50p, maybe £1 if I was lucky

Like I said, I had to have all my baby teeth pulled...8 of them pulled all at once one time... And with roots |-------| that long, it hurt like a bitch...despite the novacain. Then I had four more teeth pulled to make room for braces.

I hate my mouth...
