Did you know the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia?






It had been invented anywhere else, it would have called teeth brush.

I think it's funny, just like Canadian/English/Irish/Scottish jokes (my heritage).

Then again, I don't do PC.

The way I heard it was that when the toothbrush was invented they tried to get people to use it to promote better oral health but it didn't become popular until they told the folks it would help make their teeth whiter.

"Tooth brush" just rolls off the tongue more easily.

It is a joke that West Virginia hillbilly's are missing teeth. Did you really need that explanation?

I'm sorry sir, but that is simply not possible. IF they really are ALL her own teeth they would have MADE her move to a different state...as well as her parents! They don't want to risk their gene pool. 😀
No really..it's fact..they made my dad move from there!! He wouldn't have lied about it...would he??😀
