Forget sharks with lasers, I want a narwhal tusk on my head!

It would be pointing out of your upper lip, though....it needs some kind of root to hold it in place. Better of with some horns, like an ibex or spring buck. Imo.

It's all good, as long as it points forward, and not up, or down...I'd hate to be tripping over it - but it would be so worth it to go around smacking fish for no good reason 😂
