Face pulled away as Murdock tried to kiss him.

"Facey? What's wrong?"

"Murdock, what have you been eating?"

"Uh, some tuna sandwiches. Why?"

"How many did you eat?"

Murdock thought for a moment and counted on his

fingers.

"Uh, about four, I think. Why?"

"Four? You ate four of them? Murdock, uh, well, you

have

...uh.."

"Come on, Face, say it."

"Murdock, you need to brush your teeth. I'm sorry,

but

your breath stinks."

Murdock blew into his hand and took a sniff. "Hmm,

that

does smell bad. Be back in a jif, Face."

Murdock went into the bathroom and took the tooth

brush and brushed his teeth with gusto. Soon he

returned

and tried to kiss Face again. But Face still pulled

away.

"Face, I brushed my teeth. Didn't it help?

"Sorry, Murdock."

"Gosh, Face, now what? I don't want bad breath for

the

rest of my life. You'll never kiss me again."

Face slowly took out a pack of gum. "Here, try this,

it's a new brand. It said it stops bad breath on

contract."

Taking the gum, Murdock replied, "Okay, I'll try

anything."

Murdock placed the gum in his mouth, and chewed and

chewed

and chewed. When he was done, Face came foward.

"Well, let's find out if it worked, shall we,

Murdock?"

"Okay, Face."

Face placed his lips on Murdock. "Aw, that's better.

Now

your breath smells minty clean."

"Hey, Face, what was the name of that gum?"

"I don't know, but who cares? Come on, Murdock, kiss

me

like you never did before."

Murdock gave no answer, just granted Face's wish.
