John J. Pershing was a famous general. Everybody in America knew him and many people wished to have a picture or something of his in their homes. 
One day, he went to a dentist and had four teeth pulled out. A week later, the general heard that his teeth were being sold in curiosity shops at $ 5 each. On each of the teeth there was a label with the name of the general and words, "Buy these teeth and show them to your friends at home." 
The general got angry. He ordered six officers to go around the city and buy all his teeth. The officers went out and visited every curiosity shop in the city. Finally, they returned and put on the table in front of the general the teeth they had bought. They had collected 134 teeth.
