Push it with your tongue? Really? Another solution would be that on the 1 out of every 20 times a tiny bit of toothpaste falls into the sink, you could splash it with water so it goes away. You can thank me later. I don’t know Ethan—I’m not into the idea of assaulting my taste buds with mint so early in the morning. Push it with your tongue? Really?

Canadians are usually funnier than we are. I'm so glad to hear that, Jennifer! And Courtney, I'm wise to your gender-baiting. Just because the three people I know who do this are female doesn't mean I assume all offenders to be female. I'm fairly certain that this is a gender-agnostic phenomenon--I just have a severely limited sample size. Nice. Canadians are usually funnier than we are. I’m so glad to hear that, Jennifer!

Also, I think you'll like this entertaining video from Loading Ready Run, also on the subject of toothpaste (stick with it past the short ad in front): <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="noScale" salign="TL" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="mediaId=882765&affiliateId=24664&allowFullScreen=true&pngLogo=http%3A//www.loadingreadyrun.com/img/revdots_grey.png" allowfullscreen="true" height="392" width="480"></embed> Well, it looks like I will indeed go to heaven when I die, because I have always brushed my teeth exactly this way.

Here I thought that I had reached toothbrushing utopia with my electric fancy dohickey and now I find out that, all along, I just needed to press my toothpaste into my tongue. Now Ethan my dear, will you provide rules for men (I notice you tried to stay away from the gender angle here, but we all know it's women who are the glob culprits) about how to not leave little cookie crumbs of themselves (in the form of boxers, headphones, take out containers etc.) everywhere?
