I lost a tooth in May and I didn't get squat!

I think $1-$2 is fair.

I used to get 25 to 50 cents, enough for a treat at the corner store basically.

Yeah.... i remember when i lost MY teeth. i was so thrilled when i received my first 5 dollars for my first tooth. I've always been a business man so naturally I thought of someway to exploit the system. I began knocking my teeth out night by night. One by one, long story short by the end of the week i had 35 bucks.... actually no i just thought that sounded funny...


but 10$ is good.

That was not funny until it was a joke

I think some dollars are nice. $5.00 is better!
