Today it became illegal in Florida to be in a car without a seatbelt. It’s a primary offense, which is to say you can be pulled over if an officer sees you without a seatbelt. The reasoning seems to be as follows: Seatbelts are good, therefore we need a law to ensure that people wear seatbelts. Or: Transfats are bad, therefore we need to outlaw transfats.
And this got me thinking. Flossing is also good …so we need a law to ensure that people are flossing. We also need a way of enforcing flossing law, to make sure people don’t do things to their teeth of which the government does not approve. The enforcers of this law can be called Floss Force.
Not only would Floss Force perform a valuable service, but forcing taxpayers to pay their salaries would stimulate the economy!!! Yeah!!! Somebody get Nancy Pelosi on the horn.
To all the narrow-minded doubters who say we can’t afford to make sure everyone flosses their teeth because were are trillions of dollars in debt, I say… We can’t afford NOT to do this. How can you argue with that logic?
