Guinness Record Set for Simultaneous Tooth Extractions

Dentists with government "job" applicants

Dentists from the NGO "Gums for Tots" have just broken the world record for most tooth extractions in a 60 minute period. The event, held in the wretchedly poor Guatamalan departamentos of Sacatepéquezpezdispenser, was closely monitored by a crack team of Guinness record judges from the Lower Seychelles.

The group assured a large turnout by luring residents from their homes with promises of free government jobs inspecting small mirrors and dental drills once they agreed to participate in a "practice session" to determine if they were qualified for the non-paying, but highly prestigious positions. After signing "hold harmless" waivers, about 450 villagers had more than 4,500 teeth extracted within a one hour period. Most residents, who were toothless even before the event, complained of nothing stronger than casual hypothermia and PTSD-like flashbacks after they were administered massive amounts of laughing gas by volunteer dental hygienists from a local veterinary clinic.

Once the potential record has gone through a rigorous quality assurance check at the Guinness home office, each participating villager will be given photos of their removed teeth and an opportunity to buy a tin begging cup with the inscription "World's Worst Looking Lay" in brightly colored lettering.
