And how long had it been since you'd brushed your teeth? :eek:

They had us brush our teeth right before chewing the thing. I think it's all just one big advertisement for Crest toothpaste. It took an awful lot of scrubbing to get that pink stuff off. I think it was third grade. We thought it was hilariously funny, but I'm not sure the teacher was as pleased when it took far longer than planned to get us all cleaned up again (we were sort of frothing at the mouth with the pink stuff).

I recall a similar study suggesting men could reduce their risk of prostate disorders by similar means.

By brushing their teeth? :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter. If i live to be thirty, something went right, and thus violated the laws of physics.

After much contemplating, I've got the meanest April Fool's joke ever planned! I'm bringing a delicious flourless chocolate-hazelnut cake to share with the lab tomorrow...I'm going to torture them with uncertainty! (I might just have to act a little suspicious when I share with them that it's there for them to enjoy. :smile:) It really is a fabulous cake and there's not a thing wrong with it (other than there isn't nearly enough of it), but they know me well enough to make them think it might be a joke. :smile: :smile:

And once they've let their guard down, laxatives in the coffee? :wink:

Sure. Right alongside (well, not so much beside) his partner Ben Dover.

I absolutely never thought of this until you brought it up, but: is that little Oral-B electric dental-flosser called a 'Hummingbird' because it can be used as a prosthetic aid for suction-impaired women? :biggrin:

You mean you haven't tried it yet? It's what caused me to speak with a lisp -- Not. :-p
