NEW TOOTH MOWN DOWN
I his one s not a root-m-mouth story - more of a mouth-by-feet story, where a man's masticator is mown down before its time . It starts when Tongariro National Park's District Conservator Paul Green is challenged to a push-bike race by his son. There was no outcome to the race because our man Paul crash landed teeth first in the dirt. Now you are probably saying that's not furrny and Gossip would agree, but what follows deserves mention. Ranger Paul faced dental work to repair the damage, which included capping one front tooth. Unfortunately, he was soon eating peaches and loosened the tooth on a peach stone. Next in the chain of events he was doing a little conservation work on his lawns, (well, hacking them to bits with a lawn mower actually). Conservator Paul was merily mowing back and forth when he noticed his precious tooth, that he had inadvertently spat out, being spat out by the lawn mower - all chewed up!
