I once had a roommate who owned a Philips Sonicare toothbrush system that he kept on the bathroom counter. He often left the unit plugged into the wall with the cord stretched across where the sink was. He didn't really have a reason to keep his mouth so clean. No make out sessions. Just good old fashioned anal retentiveness.

The genius marketing folks welcome Sonicare users to "...a new era of clean." I could not wait to experience this new era. When it was my turn to clean the bathroom I was rather excited to go to work. The toothbrush head did a fantastic job of polishing our fine porcelain throne.

I soon began referring to the brush head as my little pube picker-upper. Perhaps my roommate overhead me telling my friend how easy it had become to clean the bathroom. He stammered out with a rabidly foaming mouth and held between his two fingers the evidence.

"What the hell is this?" he asked with foam spraying from his mouth.

I smiled and told him the truth.

"It's new organic dental floss."
