I went to the dentist for a second opinion after my the last guy used an alleged "tooth-density measurer" (bearing a suspicious resemblance to the buzzing mechanism you use when playing Operation) to tell me I needed seven (7!) fillings.
Well, the new guy said I need seven (7) fillings. He looked at my X-rays (whose old-school technology I trust) and said, "You drink a lot of soda. It's rotting your teeth. You have to stop."
Yes, I drink a lot of soda. OK, Mr. Confident-Sounding Dentist, I will stop. But not without lamenting my loss with haiku:
Caffeinated fizz
Perfect bagel companion
Light of my morning
O Carbonation,
Why must you be acidic
And thus rot my teeth?
First candy, now this
I will not give up TV
So don't even ask
Unsweetened iced tea,
Maybe you could fill the void
Left by Diet Coke
Who am I kidding
Nothing compares to D.C.
Adieu, sweet beverage

Ah, the delights of dentistry. But remember that teeth are so useful! The let you chew desserts, and the wonderful food Mr. T&A cooks, and smile.
I drink coffee, which has been scientifically proven to have no harmful effects at all. You could too.
Dad
A simple straw
Like Paris and Lindsay use
Soda passes teeth
