Trying To Imagine Wooden Teeth...

I'm never sure how these thoughts creep into my mind in the morning - often long before my second cup of coffee.

But there you have it - I recall that George Washington for one reason or another had wooden teeth, and now I have to imagine living with that sort of arrangement.

I mean, Pinocchio likely had no problem with that, but he really didn't have any other reference to gauge their efficiency by...

As for the rest of us - wouldn't wooden teeth be a poor choice, given the moisture levels in the average human mouth?? How do you chew gum when an upper plate has warped out of sync with your bottom plate??

Did they swell, like a Cheshire cat with all that moisture? Imagine poor George at the bow of that boat, with a grin bigger than Jim Carrey in "Ace Ventura, Pet Detective"! Not exactly a presidential demeanour - just sayin'...

I'd think one might also have a mortal fear of woodpeckers, with a mouthful of wooden chompers....

On the plus side, you'd never have a shortage of toothpicks.

That's enough speculation for today - just needed to give you all something to chew on...

Later!

Ha ha, a mortal fear of woodpeckers, made me laugh! My biggest concerns I think would be the slivers you would swallow and possible termite challenges. Yikes!
