NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- New Orleans police said a man who was shot by his brother was spared serious injury or death when the bullet bounced off his gold tooth.
Police said Waltdell Davis, 20, used a .22-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver to shoot his brother, Walter Davis, 22, after an argument about Walter smoking his younger brother's marijuana, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Wednesday.

I'm pretty sure Batman didn't have a gold tooth in his utility belt.

I guess gold is worth $1,200 an ounce.

What is with these names. This is the second brother story I’ve seen here in the past week where one brother kills or tries to kill the other, and they both have practically the same name. That could get annoying.
“Hey, Walt!”
“Yeah?” “Yeah?”

This story reads like one from the Onion.
Had to reread to verify it wasn't a joke.
Just wow.

Aimed to put a “cap in his ass” and accidentally, the bullet “got all up in his grille”. Just some urban lingo....like “wee-weed up” and “acting stupidly”.

Waltdell needs a bigger gun. Well, and a bigger brain.

NO. It’s priced per bounce, NOT ounce nowadays. You didn’t get the memo?

Seems perfectly reasonable to shoot your brother for smoking your pot... justifiable dentalcide.
To: MAexile
I vaguely remember hearing a story from several years ago about a guy being shot in the face with a .22 and one of his front teeth (not gold) slowed the bullet enough that it didn’t kill him.

If that doesn't earn someone a shootin', I don't know what does.
