My sentence is actually true. If I floss, sometimes it gets stuck between the teeth, and I have to wait a few days for my saliva to eat it away. In other news, it only takes a few days for saliva to significantly dissolve a piece of dental floss.

Thanks for sharing. I thought people like you were just using the string to remind them of something. :-)

It's there to remind us not to floss anymore. Or to get our wisdom teeth removed.
