Why?

[Caran]

Do we have to look in a mirror to clean our teeth? Do we not know where our mouth is?

[clyde59]

i think its to make sure our teeth our still there :-)

[Cloverjo]

Good point, Caran. Although, I suppose the mirror is there anyway, so we might as well check that we're doing it well enough. I worry about red wine stains etc.

[BlackadderV]

It's in case you forgot to put them in and are wasting your time brushing your gums.

[Buenchico]

I don't look in a mirror to clean my teeth!

Perhaps you should change your avatar to a narcissus, Caran?

;-)

[PankySmooch]

Probably the same reason we look at the toilet paper once we've wiped

[Caran]

Pinky smooch that's disgusting!!

[Caran]

Sorry pinky!

[Caran]

Why won't it let me type panky?

[PankySmooch]

I know, but it's true

[Caran]

I don't as I don't want to know.

[PankySmooch]

How'd you know you're done then?

[Dizmo]

PankySmooch: Why do you look at the toilet paper at all? I just grab and wipe and eject down the toilet. I'm intrigued.

[BlackadderV]

I don't see what's disgusting. By looking at the toilet paper one can see whether another wipe or two is necessary.

[Buenchico]

>>>Probably the same reason we look at the toilet paper once we've wiped

Er, isn't there a practical reason for that? i.e. you keep going until it comes out clean.

[Caran]

TMI

[clyde59]

I can see this thread is going down the pan :-)

[Caran]

How did this degenerate from cleaning teeth?

[clyde59]

Dont know funny old world

[BlackadderV]

That's the top and bottom of it, Caran.

Another 'why' question:

Why do threads like this one always seem to get posted late night on a Saturday? (I'm nosh underz the affluence of incohol, honeshtwee, osshifer!)
