That is some fucked-up shit. Tooth pain isn't like normal pain. Its  
direct proximity to the brain... teeth have hot electrical wires  
poking right into the soft grey matter... and as Martin Amis has said,  
your mouth is where you live.

In fact the whole subject of writers and teeth is pretty interesting.  
Amis, Joyce, Nabokov... all epic tooth sufferers.

By the way: what's all the Jewish stuff in V.?  Don't know if it keeps  
up, reading it for the first time here.
