mec Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 The central Appalachian states lead the nation in toothlessness. More than 32 percent of Tennessee residents surveyed last year had lost six or more teeth because of decay or gum disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control. That number was 38 percent in Kentucky and 43 percent in West Virginia, which holds the distinction of the most toothless state. Kentucky ranked No. 1 in toothlessness in 2003. WOW Quote

TheOldHouseMan Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Maybe this is why they call it a "tooth brush" and not a "teeth brush". Quote

EWolfe Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 West Virginia is also #1 in nudist camps. I wonder if there is a correlation? Quote

Off_White Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 http://www.edelmangallery.com/adams.htm This photographer has made a killing off of ht e toothlessness of these people. Pretty good stuff. Have you seen the documentary, "The True Meaning of Pictures"? Interviews with the artist and his subjects. The guy's actually from there and has long term connections with the folks he takes pictures of. Sure, he's an artist with a point of view, and he does direct his subjects, but it seems less exploitive than one might imagine. Those folks all laugh and smile a lot more in real life (missing teeth and all) than they do in his photos. Quote
EWolfe Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 It looks like RuMR and MisterE already climbed that place out... Yeah. We were the guys with clothes on and most of our teeth. Chicks dug it. Quote
deadbeatchrist Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Yes I have seen it and, even thought I realize it was a serious doc, I have to admit that I had a very hard time suppressing my laughter. Those people are just so silly! But You are right, I don't think Shelby was taking advantage of those people. Quote
RuMR Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 It looks like RuMR and MisterE already climbed that place out... Yeah. I was the guy with no clothes on and one of my teeth left. the sheep dug it. Quote
