The more I thought of this the more I thought it was definitely something to think about. I thought of black ants' humungous mandibles, who I can't really say are bad for successfully defending their homes against all odds. I bet wild and toothy creatures depend, probably even thrive on the release and temporary insanity they use to clamp down when they have to. When a dentist told me about 12 years ago to quit clenching my teeth she didn't tell me HOW. While I let myself think of things that bothered me - especially since no one was around in the garden with me - I put my lips back and sortof snarled for the rest of the afternoon.

Gee. It felt great.
