Wisdom Teeth Are Stupid

This is my second time to have a wisdom tooth removed. And no, the experience does not get any better with frequency. Sure you'll know what to expect this time around, but the pain you go through before you get the tooth removed is not something you ever want to experience again. Tenderness in your gums, your teeth being shoved away to make room for the stupid, useless piece of calcium that will inevitably be removed, seriously what in our genetic make up insists we NEED these extra teeth?

Why do we even call them Wisdom teeth in the first place? Do we really become smarter when they break through your gums? Do we really lose our intelligence if we have them yanked out (or in my case dug out)?

The pain killers can only do so much. The stitches are itching and I feel like I have this tube of gauze or cotton stuck between my gums and lip. It is not a comfortable feeling. Why did we have to have these accursed wisdom teeth?

I swear, mankind would be better off if we no longer had wisdom teeth. Like the appendix it doesn't really serve any particular purpose, except cause us pain and discomfort. Appendectomy anyone?
