If you ever visit South Dakota, be sure to bring some breath mints -- it's the state where people go the longest between tooth brushings.
According to a poll by Mentadent toothpaste, 67 percent of the folks in South Dakota admit they've gone up to three days without brushing their teeth.
It isn't much better in Utah, where 66 percent confess to the same oral oversight.
Other toothbrush-challenged states include: Oklahoma, where 60 percent of folks have gone without brushing for up to three days; and Indiana and Rhode Island, where 57 percent of the population admit they've kept their toothbrushes on the shelf that long.

You do know that the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas, right?
Anywhere else, and it would have been called a teethbrush.

67 percent of the folks in South Dakota admit they've gone up to three days without brushing their teeth. They must be so depressed to be stuck with Daschle that they ignore basic hygeine. No wonder Daschle is so uptight -- he must get lightheaded having to hold his breath when he makes public appearances, to avoid smelling the breath of his collective constituency.

They probably don't spit much either. I guess that is the reason why they keep Daschle around. They just can't seem to get him out of their mouths.

You know, this poll could actually be interpreted as an honesty poll. Maybe the most honest people are in south dakota, utah, and oklahoma.

Incidentally, I found this web site dedicated to defeating Daschle in the next election:
Dumpdaschle.org Don't know if it's been posted before, but it looks like a cool site. (I found it when I was verifying that Daschle is indeed from South Dakota and not North Dakota -- I actually forgot!)

This is the fault of the GOP because they don't support a National Dental Plan. First the homeless, then the jobless and now the toothless. I also think if there was more illegal aliens in South Dakota then they would be elgible for more welfare assisitance in such areas as dental.

You
don't want to know what the Disney Corporation had to do to get the staff of the Disneyland in France to bathe and change their underwear daily.

Yuck! I wouldn't touch her with a 10 foot toothbrush.
I brush once a day, although both my mom and dental hygenist wish I did it twice daily.
