  Carl, I'm glad to hear it.  Do you ever trip anyone?  Don't worry 
about closing your mouth, because, with a tooth that long, there is no 
way to close one's mouth, unless it is a folding tooth.  Of course, that 
leads to a philosophical discussion regarding a folding tooth versus a 
straight tooth.  I think that I am beginning to get ill.

  Well Gary, I knew better than to open my mouth on this subject.  But
  actually, I did put a tip on it.  When I swing my head left and right 
it
  makes a real fine cane.

  Hey, Carl.  I heard that your tooth was as long as an NFB cane without 
a
  tip.

  Yup.  Funny thing is that you're the only one who's pointed that out 
to me.
  Hmmm, does this mean that you are also getting up in years?
