Chicago Cubs fans had suffered 108 years of misery. So losing one little tooth is basically nothing, right?

One Cubs fan put that notion to the test when he bet his friends that if the Cubs won the World Series, they could rip out his tooth. So when Chicago won its first Fall Classic since 1908 earlier this month, the fan stood by his claims.

"I'm not a liar," he declared before bidding goodbye to one of his teeth. "It's not what I'm about. Not now. Not ever."

Clutching a Cubs "W" flag, he watched the tooth soar out of his mouth while connected to a solid football toss from his buddy.

And for those who think it's fake, there's a closeup.

The Cubs' big win led to tears, trust falls and tattoos. Go ahead and add "missing teeth" to that list.
