Pliers! Yeeeegh! Nice to get it over quickly, though.

Rude, you never know with Wisdom teeth. The wife also has all hers. Since she has an underbite they seem to be in there happily enough. I got mine all pulled at once in my early 20s (then taped them to the Earthdawn GM screen). Nasty business, I got lazy flushing out the cavities after a week or so and the smell was atrocious.

I love the random aside in Cryptonomicon where nobody will operate on the main char's wisdoms because the roots are in so deep they're snarled around parts of his brain.
