Ice Kreme Sammich

My woman got a root canal today. She's generally a tough broad, so when I saw that this made her miserable I knew it must be bad. She asked me for an ice cream sandwich.

After a trip to the store, late at night in the pouring rain, I came home and produced an ice cream sandwich, as ordered.

She got all bitchy and told me she didn't want it.

Later she told me that she appreciated the gesture, but she just didn't want an ice cream sandwich made with rye bread with mustard.

Schmootz, dude, I figured you of all people would understand...
Horseradish with ice cream, never the mustard. Mustard goes much more naturally with non-frozen treats, such as eclairs and red licorice.

Well I had a nasty root canal last summer. The sucker ached morning and night, but I didn't want to take the pain medication prescribed because pain medication makes me nauseous.

So I consulted by herb books and learned that fresh oregano crushed and placed on the throbbing gum would relieve the pain.

I took some of my fresh oregano and crushed it a bit with the back of a teaspoon and put it on my sore tooth. And Eccola! the pain DID go away.

A secondary benefit is that oregano has antibacterial properties, too.

The relief lasted for up to two hours.

And I always make my ice cream sandwiches with Tuscan bread. Just sayin'.
