The curse of Dr Phil and the Removal of Wisdom

Whilst it was as much a shock to me as it will have been to anyone else, it transpired, after many years of denial on my part, that I did have a wisdom tooth! Hurrah!

Shortly after delivering this piece of positive information, all thoughts of me being able to capitalise on this new found potential within (Book deals, promotion, financial success etc) soon vanished as Dr McAverty announced in his soft Scottish burr (somebody told me that Phil was actually Polish but I didn't believe them) “It'll have to coom ooot!”

And so it was that on this day - 6 February 2007 - Dr McAverty created a cavity rather filling (Phil in?) a hole. The whole episode took no more than 30 seconds and was pain free.

On the way home I tested myself to see whether there was any impact on my cognitive skills and numerical and verbal reasoning by the recent reduction in my wisdom enhancing molars. Fortunately, there was no significant change and I remain confident that the quality of my Blog will not be reduced from previous levels.

Or to put it another way....as the dwarf (phonetically pronounced duh-wharf!) said to the limbo-dancer, “...how low can you go?"
