  1. what movies have you been watching....?


  2. Why do you think? Duhhhh

  3. KEEPS YOU FROM SCREAMING...VERY MUCH LIKE "BITE THE BULLET"  MEANS THE SAME THING

  4. it puts more pressure on what you are biting down on.

    so you dont feel the whipping as much.

  5. It gives your mouth something to do besides scream.  Like in the Civil War if they had to cut your leg off because of gangrene first they gave you a lead bullet to bit on.
