preadolescent "tortures"

[Charles Doyle]

This "torture" is more of a trick to play on the unwary than a punishment:  Instruct a naif bite to down firmly for several seconds on the ends of the two index fingers, simultaneously (upper teeth on the nails).  Then hook the ends of those two fingers together and pull hard.
