Floss Stops Loss

I got this money-saving idea from my neighbor.  He’s a dentist.

He drives a custom, stretched-out, tricked-out Hummer.  This thing has six tires.

The license plate says “FLOSS”.  He named his expensive ride Floss, because that’s how he paid for it - people don’t floss, so they have to visit him. He probably makes enough to have paid cash for his Hummer.

I brush two or three times a day (depending on where I happen to be).  But if I would just add flossing to my dental hygiene routine once a day, I could really kick expensive dental bills in the teeth!  And dental floss is cheap, cheap, cheap.

I’ve had two root canals (and two crowns).  Even with dental insurance, these procedures were still hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket.

So everyone join hands (oh, wait, brush and floss first, then join hands), and dream of the day when dentists drive ‘79 Pintos named “FLOSS NO MAS”.
