How much dynamite would be needed during this amateur dentistry I intend to carry out?

Question

My aunt who is staying with me for a few days up at the manor has got terrible toothache but has a real phobia about going to the dentist. I have stepped in and said I would take the blighter out myself, how much dynamite should one use?

As the last time I used dynamite during a medical procedure the poor chap landed on the manor roof.

Answer 1

Huh?

Answer 2

well old chap it really does depend on how wealthy the said aunt is and how much she has left you in her will

Answer 3

After putting various numbers, figures, calculations, theories and complex scientific analysis into my steam - otron - calculator and waiting 15 minutes for the whirring and buzzing to stop, I have your answer........ Apparently a barrel with the words TNT would be adequate old chap. A word of caution AR, I used my device to guess the perfect water temperature for my Great Aunt Hyacinth, the screams still haunt me to this day.

Answer 4

Yes I bloody well did and you refused to give me a ladder to get down, bah, and I still have a tooth ache

Answer 5

Do ensure that her will is in order before you proceed.

Come to think of it, perhaps you'd like to adopt me first. x

Answer 6

How much is really trivial in the grand scheme of things ....what really matters is how often you use dynamite that defines a man

Answer 7

Rotter old Chum, "Semtex" blows your mind old bean ?

well it will in this case ? try about tree pounds..it should do the trick....(glad to see your back again)

Answer 8

I would purchase a packet of that tape used in cap guns.  You know the stuff - like a pink ribbon of paper rolled up with small spots of explosives along the length.

Tell your aunt it is ones of those 'Kellogg's Real Fruit Winders' and get her to chew on it.

The tooth should soon be out.

Answer 9

Well old boy, i suppose it all depends on how one feels about the aforesaid Aunt. If a healthy bequest rests upon her chances of survival, I would advise caution.

However, if you take her over to the estate smithy,  and hand a nominal sum to the farrier, say a shilling or two, I'm sure he could loosen the offending blighter with a well placed tap from one of his larger hammers. Aunts are made of stern stuff and I'm sure she won't mind the slight inconvenience.

There you have it, tooth removed, and bequest intact  and the afternoon free for a spot of lunch at the club.
