My dad got all of his wisdom teeth pulled during his lunch break when I was younger and he went back to work. Wacky things happen during lunch breaks.

Not to start a one up thing, but I got my wisdom teeth pulled at 8 in the morning then made a bicycle race start at 11 and raced 110 miles... around mile 80 on a climb my dissolvable stitches broke when I was eating a powerbar and blood gushed from my mouth like a crazed vampire. The perfect ending would be winning the race, but I had to drop out becuase I was inhaling and swallowing to much blood and started to puke...
Man, you guys obviously had a different wisdom teeth procedure performed than the one I had. I had my wisdom teeth out in 1995. I hear that they have significantly improved the procedure since that time. Like when my sister had hers out in about 2000, she was out on the town that very night. As for me...man, I was just fucking OUT. It was an out-and-out surgery for me. I don't even remember the rest of that day. My mom had to drive me home from the doctor's office, and when I got home, I immediately passed out and slept for about 12 hours. Even the next day, I was so swollen and in so much pain that I was confined to the couch, watching TV. I couldn't have gone back to work the day of, let alone participated in a bike race. Hell, I couldn't even walk straight.
