Weird, how could you not feel that? If anything, he would certainly have had
a bit of blood in his mouth. I wonder how much the truth was bent, and by
who? :-)
Ouch!

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) A dentist found the source of the toothache

Patrick

Lawler was complaining about on the roof of his mouth: a four-inch nail

the

construction worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six days

earlier.


It doesn't actually say that he'd taped the trigger, but blamed the

accident

on a "backfire".




Pain is a very interesting thing that way. I've had plenty of things
punctured where I didn't feel any pain (including my nose, my tongue,
and several other, less "sensitive" body parts) It really depends on
how you're wired, basically. Nerve receptors aren't exact science and
you will often feel pain in the "wrong" place, especially in situations
like this. I mean, how many nerve endings are there in the top of your
mouth and your sinus cavities? As for blood, unless the nail is removed
there's no reason to expect a lot of blood either.

Still, makes you think twice doesn't it?
