Today, I broke my tooth nearly in half. On a completely unrelated note, the Jew's Harp is my new least-favorite instrument. FML

Blaphlafagus tells us more.

Kinda awkward that I play the saxophone as my main instrument... Ok story time, so I was sitting there in my Music Theory class just messing around because it was near the end of the period and one of my friends brought this instrument thing called a Jew's Harp or Jaw Harp. They said it plays by vibrating your teeth or something so, not thinking clearly, put it directly against my teeth and pulled the thing back really far and let it loose. I have no clue what I was thinking at the time. Luckily I'll go to the dentist on Monday and get it all nice and pretty again.

It would hurt breaking a tooth like that. On a completely unrelated note, I have to change the drive belt of my car.

Don't forget to brush your teeth before your dentist visit. Wouldn't want the dentist to forget to wash his hands.

you shouldn't have written on a completely unrelated note... after googling a jew's harp I think it was quite related

You are one in a long line to not understand sarcasm.

That just flew right over your head didn't it? It's a little thing called being facetious... Say it with me /fəˈsēSHəs/ It's ok sunshine. You'll get the gist of it eventually. Just hang in there cupcake... lol!

Am I just drunk or do I just not understand this FML? Hint: it's both

HE/SHE WAS PLAYING THE HARP AND ALMOST BROKE THEIR TOOTH

Also, it wasn't a Harp, it was a Jew's Harp, one that you're supposed to play with your mouth (and fingers, of course)

try harder.. no instrument is easy to play..

I know a good dentist you can go see.

I'm confused as to how you managed to break a tooth on the harp since you just grip it softly between your teeth/lips! That's like saying you broke your jaw playing a saxophone... FYL.

****, I'm Jewish and don't even know what a Jew's harp is...

That's cuz it's not a Jewish harp, it's just called that :p
