    How about appraising a monkey skull damaged in shipment from
    overseas? Setting stones so they touch the skin (multiple times)?
    Leaving so little metal around a stone that it was guaranteed to
    fall out (and then making me redo it after another jeweler said there
    wasn't enough metal to safely hold the stone---and yes I told them
    that over ten times but they insisted anyway)? Set a bullet? Set
    human teeth (did it--twice)? Set dog's teeth (did it three times)?
    Set a piece of the Berlin wall (came out really cool)? Set rock from
    the top of Mt. Everest (9 times)? Set a tyrannosaurus rex tooth
    (only once)? Have a dominatrix (her professional name was
    Leopordella) come in, show you her just pierced belly button and tell
    you she wants you to design something for it that needs
    measurements--before the darn thing had healed up? Those are just the
    ones that come to the top of my head. Give my brain a little time and
    I'll come up with some more.
