Make Sure to Floss
I’ve seen many strange things in this town, but what I saw this morning topped them all. My morning commute is filled with laughter and cheery goodness by listening to Elliott in the Morning, and by the time I reach the 270 spur I’m in tears with what antics Elliott is talking about or making someone do. Of course, I happen to glance over when passing the Democracy Boulevard exit, and I see this black C4 Chevy Corvette. The car wasn’t the odd thing, but the guy driving was what I thought was odd. He was brushing his teeth!
Now I’ve seen people reading the paper while driving, looking at maps while driving, even women putting on make-up, but brushing your teeth? Come on! My real concern is not the fact he was brushing his teeth, but where do you spit when you’re done? I know I wouldn’t be brushing my teeth in my $45,000 USD car if I had one.

Where do you spit? You’ve never been in traffic and seen guys open and lean out the car door to spit on the ground, huh?
I’m really getting tired of the public spitting thing. Where, outside of a WNBA basketball game or women’s boxing match do you see women casually spitting on the ground or into trashcans?
Hm, no wait, don’t answer, you might actually KNOW, and that scares me.

How can someone possibly be doing that in such a beautiful piece of machinery?! Heretic! Between the possible hell that could result from not watching the road to the possible mess that brushing your teeth driving could result in, that’s just insane.
Worst I’ve seen on I-270 has been shaving, while looking at laptop sitting in passenger seat, while pulling 60mph down south-bound. Kind of makes you wonder how much less traffic would be an issue if people actually paid attention to the task at hand: driving.
Brian, you’d be surprised. I present Frederick and Hagerstown as prime examples.

I’ve seen that C4 about two weeks ago and drooled!
