BEYOND THE PLUGHOLE--THE DENTAL PRACTICE by John Townsend Story 4

To be a rich Plugolite is indeed a very respected posistion, in fact it is to be admired, for a rich Plugolite works hard. Such was the Plugolites who lived at the dental practice.

There the Gurgle Alarms were going all the time, if it was not the mouth suction it was the spitoon, or the sink or the hand basin, it was Gurgle Alarms all round for most of the day.
Certainly bad for the Plugolites hearing, which is already sensitive.
So how did those living at the dental practice become rich? Well they had clever knack of using fishing nets on rods, with a Plugolite each side of a waste pipe, As a patient was asked by the dentist to rinse out, The Plugolites would catch the rich pickings of metal fillings, and even gold scrappings have been known. On a good day they would collect a bagfull which they would sell to the buyer Plugolite who lived at the bank buildings; there they would recieve Plugolite-credits which could be used to purchase clothes, umberellas, rain hats all the luxuries that being rich could buy.
One day a most fortunate rich picking. Above a dentist was struggling to treat a very nervous client, when the mouth suction in the clients mouth sucked a gold tooth all the way down the waste pipe. Oh there were screams above, but below in Plughole there were oohs! and aahs as the cature nets caught this fat gold tooth. The Plugolites could not believe their eyes. "A lump of gold, would I believe it could ever happen?" said the Plugolite who lifted the gold tooth high in the waste pipe for all to see.
Before taking it to the Plugolites at the bank, they polished it and sat it on the dining table for all to admire.
Word travelled far among Plughole, their wealth and fame at capturing a real gold tooth became folklore. Even songs were sung about the event. Such is the wonder of being a rich Plugolite.
