DAY 10 [ Shanghai ] : Jawbone Of An Ass

At some point during the last couple days in Taipei, I popped my jaw out of socket somehow. Perhaps with all the gum I chew, i have developed giant jaw muscles or maybe it's grinding when I sleep. Anyhow, It has shifted forward a micro amount putting all the pressure bearing down on one tooth preventing ANY other teeth from touching.

The human jaw exerts 200 lbs of pressure per square inch and now all that force is down to the head of a pin. I can't do the math on that but all i know is that it's an adventure. With an accidental chomp and ... (((CLACK))) "OUCH!!!" It's like a hammer hitting my front tooth next to my canine screaming "HEY!!! DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME!!! I'M RIGHT HERE.... IN THE FRONT... JUST HANGING OUT!!!" I should name my attention starved tooth in hopes that he stops giving me that painful morning alarmclock because a good nights sleep is becoming a distant memory so let's call him... SAMPSON. Apparently, he's the jawbone and I'm the ass.

My back teeth are geting lonely since they have not been together in about a week and my stomach is starting to get a bit miffed from giving him loads of unchewed food. I really need to figure someting out.

For two days now, without success, I've been pushing and pulling on my jaw in hopes it will pop back into place. It's a bit sore from that yanking so I should probably stop right? I might end up completely dislocating it and and up if face traction or something stupid. What a sight? .. but the pictures would be priceless!

Don't fucking waste your time writing, you should be you know, wink, wink, nudge, etc. Tell us when you get back, unless this is a pyramid scheme and you need me to buy a ticket or sell one to get back, in which case I'm in; you can make a killing in the pyramid business.
