It is often said that the government would take the gold out of your teeth if allowed. Well, the Metro Police of Nashville is doing precisely that — putting the gem encrusted “grills” of a drug dealer out for bids.
The department put the item on its eBid site as “one set of custom made teeth grills.”
These grills are the brainchild of Eddie “the Iceman” Plein, the New York dentist, who who charges a minimum of $100 per tooth for his made-to-order grills.
You can be the cat’s meow in court with grills displaying six 3mm genuine blue topaz stones and two 3mm genuine citrine stones inlaid in 10K yellow gold. (My court grills have “Thirty Percent” on top and “Plus Costs” on the bottom in reference to my contingency fee rate). Since these are custom-made grills, people may need to try them on to guarantee a proper fit at the auction.
Note to self: if arrested in Nashville, keep your mouth shut.

Very funny. I bet the “Plus Costs” in in fine print.
When lookin’ for gold in Nashville it’s “Grill, baby, Grill”
The mail order guys would give no more than ten bucks for these 10k grills.
Is this part of a “seizure” of goods of suspected drug dealers or has there been an adjudication resulting in the forfieture of his mouth bling?
I suspect the former as police departments have been making millions on this law (taking property without compensation or adjudication) and I can’t figure out why it is not unconstitutional.
Why don’t they just send them into one of those “Cash for Gold” schemes that always have commercials on tv?
I’d crack up if I saw a guy on one of those commercials saying
“I sent in my grill and I got myself $600! Thank you Cash for Gold!”
That’s just absolutely disgusting, who would buy that?
Do you take them out before chewing food?
Humm, Now how stylish is he going to be without his . . . .sickening.
