It is not common knowledge but the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky. Had it been invented somewhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush.

Thnk that’s bad? The Japs in Japan…not my people…teeth are rotten.

Anyone surprised that the worst are toothless REB state hillbillies…LOL

“REB state hillbillies”….anyone surprised you enforcing biased stereotypes?
No, I’m not at all offended, but it’s funny how people like you who make these types of statements while you would scream bloody murder if I made a similar type statement about certain others. Typical.

Why am I not surprised that West Viginia is among the worst? Sen. Robert “KKK” Byrd promised everyone in his state a full set of teeth.
In response to S&M’s brain-dead comment, I wonder what the overall health statistics of the poverty-stricken, disease-ridden, turd-world Caribbean countries like Haiti, Jamaica, and the Domincan Republic are like.

“Eminem’s Revenge”:
In fact, West Virginia was not a REB state. That’s the whole reason there is a WEST Virginia–difference with Virginia over slavery and Civil War issues. Learn your history.

I find that very fascinating. I mean, the south/east is known for their not so healthy foods…

It is interesting that all of the low states are gathered in the south. I wonder what it is, perhaps they have lower socioeconomic status on average or if there is a higher rate of chewing tobacco.
