Every time I go to Louisiana for a disaster, I'm always SHOCKED by the
condition of teeth there. Far too many people with missing or decayed
teeth... I have no idea how people can afford smokes and drinks, and far
too much food if their asses are any indication, yet can't be bothered
to take care of their teeth. Ewwwwwwwwwwww.
