why wy?

forgot to say, I took part in a world record attempt over the weekend at work. Don't laugh, it was a attempt to get the most number of people brushing their teeth for 1 minute. And it wasn't even real brushing, it was an attempt to promote oralB's brushups (tm), which is a mint-scented finger glove which is a) not as sexy as sucking a mint; and b) feels odd and not as clean as gargling. I still remember compulsory dental hygiene sessions in primary one, all in a row, brushing teeth and spitting into the drain along the canteen. And there was that chewy red stuff, apparently it showed the presense of plaque (not plague, as puck points out) so all of us had red mouths for a week.
