so i'm at this party the other night in brooklyn: rooftop, fall chill in the air, 30 somethings donning converse sneakers and tweed jackets, everyone waving their hands, talking wildly about the tenor of their latest issue. ah yes, a party full of magazine folk.
feeling that i was among my own kind, i got to talking about the website http//www.wwtdd.com and i mentioned the whole if-your-tooth-gets-knocked-out-you-should-stick-it- in-milk-thing and it was met with blank stares and loads of suspician. in particular, the editors of popular science and national geographic explorer told me that i was full of shit.
loving a challenge, and not yet having an iphone, i raced around the party, looking for one person who would back me on this idea that milk can save a broken tooth. i couldn't find one person who had heard this before. instead i was made fun of and eventually the topic was dropped.
but not by me.
says the london independant in an article dated may 1997:
"a 15-year-old girl who had nearly all her teeth knocked out when she was in collision with a car on Friday has had them replaced, thanks to a quick-thinking paramedic who saved them in a glass of milk minutes after the accident. "
i guess the fact checkers don't get invited to these shindigs anymore.
pity.
