You can't handle the tooth!

Why does the stereotype of the typical Englisman always having bad teeth continue on to this day?

I bet the recruiter promised him he'd get free dental too....
If you call paying premiums and deductibles to TRICARE free.

They wanted to prove to the world that meth-mouth was around long before meth was. They believe the place of English oral hygiene should be given its due in the annals of bad teethery.

Dude...

Seriously, knock it off.

Seriously though.

Is it the diet (for the last several hundred years?) Something in the soil (lack of naturally occurring fluoride?)

It's just weird that they should be so consistently horrible like that.

Theft, murder, intrigue... It's a Man's Life in the British Dental Association!

Ok, once I was told by a Londoner that dentists are few and far between in the UK. Barring that, I don't believe that they do have bad teef. They just don't do the veneers and bleaching that Americans do. Americans are stereotyped for having a fake smile in other parts of the world just as much as we stereotype them for having bad dental hygiene.

Funny, I thought it was the bomb on Hiroshima that won the war?

Don't be ridiculous, it was joke warefare.

Sure, against the Japs. The Nazis had surrendered in May earlier that same year. And it wasn't the bombing of Hiroshima that did it, either. We had to incinerate Nagasaki before they finally got the hint that we were going to make their whole country glow unless they stopped getting all uppity and in our face.

THIS. Bigdogdaddy- first the book learnin', then the comment.

Also I live in London and very rarely see bad teeth.

Also why is this asinine? I'd suggest slightly interesting at the very worst.

I don't know about the 'asinine' tag, the story was more humorous then anything. Loved the part where he could tell how well the war was going by how far Churchill threw his dentures.

Good stuff.

Indeed, those chompers hold an honored place in

that's some excellent spin where you get to be called "the greatest generation" when you cleaned up a mess of your own making.

last I checked, you were EXPECTED to fix your messes...but I guess I'm just from a different generation...

The bomb was really the straw that broke the camel's back. There were a million things leading up to it that can't be discredited(very much including the speeches of Churchill).

Never have so many owed so much to faux chew.

WINNER!

Never has so much attention been paid by so many, to so few teeth.

I love bbc

Uh... no. Churchill was not a big factor in the Pacific theater. In the case of Japan, it wasn't a million things leading up. It was bomb #1 and #2. Otherwise the war would have dragged on, because the Japanese weren't going to surrender easily. As Ball Zitch noted, even the first bomb alone didn't convince the Japanese leadership.

Europe was another matter of course. It's hard to imagine how the Western Front would have gone without Churchill.
