Speaking of teeth... Back in the early 80s I was doing bench presses and didn't pay close enough attention when putting the barbell back on the rack. CRUNCH!!!! Dropped it right on my lower jaw. (I still had my hands on the bar so I imagine I broke some of the fall) Messed up the upper two front teeth and the lower middle four were now bent almost completely backwards along with the part of my jaw bone that had broken.

At the hospital they shot my mouth full of painkillers and then an oral surgeon put his knee on my chest and pulled the bone and my teeth back in place. Then I got wired. On the bright side they gave me a large prescription of Darvocet.

Once the initial shock wore off the worst pain was where my lower jaw bone connected to my skull on both sides.

Drank Thanksgiving dinner through a straw that year.

I know a dude in high school who tried to bite a bar after posturing like he was reracking much like yourself. I don't think he broke his jaw but he had to get more than six teeth replaced. This is why I work out doing practical things.

Maybe it wasn't darvocet. All I know is the **** was strong to the point I couldn't drive on it.

Maybe it was percs. All I remember is it ended in set.

I think it was about 4 months before I could actually bite into anything. I'd have to cut everything up and then chew it with my back teeth.
