The musings, observations, stories and introspection of a simple boy from the bayous of Louisiana turned Manhattanite.
A reader named Laura snapped this driving around New Orleans. Is $100 for two gold teeth a bargain? This is outside the area of my expertise...

I pass this sign all the time. My burning question is, where do they get the teeth? Do they already have the teeth, or do you place an order and they deliver the teeth after awhile? I hope to begin seeing toothless thugs all over town.
Bargain or not, shouldn't the poorly spray painted sign be a GIANT BLOODY WARNING to not let that person near you with any sort of medical device? If they can't afford to get a proper sign made, I don't think its a long stretch to think they're skimping on other things - like proper sterilisation. Mmm, hepatitis.
And if they're only offering your gold teeth as a stand alone well then, um, where the hell are they getting them.
You know...the instant I saw that pic, I knew it was taken in New Orleans.
Should I be saddened by that?

Ashamed? What for? Just another neighbor showing his good hearted entrepreneurial spirit. Besides, I pass that sign all the time and it always makes me smile and show my grill.
That and the "Hit and Run Liquor Store" on Claiborne and Washington are two of my favorite signs in town. The Hit and Runs was one of the first things to open up in that (almost my) neighborhood. We had needs and they filled them well and cheaply-just like the gold grill fairy.
I am betting grave digging?
Are they advertising loose gold-covered teeth for sale, or are they advertising covering the teeth still in your mouth in gold?
No matter what kind of teeth you bite with, anyone who calls pain perdu "French toast" is not a true son of South Louisiana.
I bought 'em.
