Should have flossed

From The Week Newsletter:

Good Week For…
Dumb luck, after a Colorado man complaining of a persistent toothache went to his dentist for an X-ray. The dentist found a 4-inch nail imbedded in the man’s skull, fired there the week before in an accident with a nail gun.

Bad Week For…
Survivors, after Richard Hatch, who became famous as the winner of the first season of Survivor, was charged with tax evasion for failing to report his $1 million prize.

Not a Brad Pitt fan

From a series of interviews with video store clerks in The Albuquerque Tribune:

Now, if the choice is root canal or Brad Pitt Film Festival, then I’ve got to go with the root canal. In every freakin’ movie, he’s just atrocious. Have you noticed that in every single movie, he uses three fingers to point at things? Every single one. ‘Troy,’ ‘Fight Club,’ whatever, he uses three fingers to point. What’s up with that?”
