    One would think John Lennon could have afforded dental care.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Being the tooth ferry is way more spendy than 50cents these days. Better be some greenbacks under that pillow now days or the little ones gonna wake up and think WTF, can't even buy a candy bar.

    I'm a big Lennon fan, but this is absurd. A couple of weeks ago I found a molar my 14 year old lost as a baby, it was split in two. The tooth fairy--yours truly--put it in his office on one of the many many bookshelves and forgot about it. Dry air cut the tooth in two. I showed it to her and she just said, "Dad, that's gross!" But it's still sitting on my desk.

    What do you guys think I could get for that? lol
