Michael Spressler, 58, of Brick, New Jersey, thought he had broken a tooth when he bit into a raw clam and felt some- thing hard in his mouth during a Presidents Day weekend visit to his favorite Jersey Shore sea- food restaurant, The Lobster House.
Diner Sinks Pearly Whites Into A Real Gem
“I thought one of my molars cracked,” Spressler told NJ Ad- vance Media.
One witness said Nwabuko was laughing and mocking the patient; finally, nurses inter- vened and stopped the doctor. In a curious statement, UF Health identified Nwabuko as “not employed by UF Health,” but said they could not provide any more information.
The achievement earned Sahradyan an official Guin- ness World Record for the “most pull-ups from a heli- copter in one minute,” and the Instagram video posted by Guinness World Records has tallied more than 125,000 likes.
What was so special about the ticket? It just happens to be the only known intact ticket from Michael Jordan’s debut game with the Chicago Bulls. Cole, whose 2012 Kia Soren- to died days before the auction ended, said he plans to use some of his earnings to replace it with “a sensible used car.”
But instead of one of his own pearly whites, Spressler found a perfectly round white pearl.
Hanging Tough
One commenter gave a shout-out to the unsung hero of the video: “The real record is for the pilot for not crashing the helicopter.”
“I’ve been eating clams all my life. This is the first time this ever happened to me,” Spressler said.
Doctor ... No!
