I bought this new toothpaste, that comes with a very small hourglass.
What this little 2 inch hourglass is made to do is that it tries to impose how much time you spend brushing your teeth. I timed it, and it has roughly 2 minutes worth of sand in it.
2 minutes.
2 minutes, every day after each meal, means 6 minutes a day.
It means 36 hours per year.
And I brush after every meal or snack, being the clean freak that I am.
I probably waste about 3 days per year brushing my teeth and looking at myself.
supposing I live about 80 years, that would mean that I waste 240 days of my life, 2/3 of a year... brushing my teeth.
It takes a smile, a bullet, a broken condom, and your life is changed forever... And there I am, brushing my teeth....
You are so wasting time right now, right this very second. And so am I.
Marian told me once that he heard of a dude that calculated how much time he wasted in his entire life for tying his shoe laces... The answer made him so sad, that he killed himself.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about brushing your teeth too much. You can think about stuff while you do it. or even walk around the house and ... watch TV... :D another beautiful waste of time...
