OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- An oral surgeon from Auburn who played a practical joke on his assistant, and got sued for it, has ended up getting a last laugh.

Dr. Robert Woo temporarily implanted fake boar tusks in his employee's mouth while she was under anesthesia and took photos that later made the rounds.

The employee, Tina Alberts, felt humiliated and quit, later suing her boss.

When Woo's insurance company, Fireman's Fund, wouldn't deal with the lawsuit, Woo settled out of court with Alberts for $250,000 ... and sued the insurers.

(the next couple of paragraphs discuss how Woo sued his insurance for $750k, won, then lost on appeal then won again at the state supreme court.
