"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. Fini __________________________________________________
