“My dental plan is, ‘I guess I’ll just chew on this side of my mouth from now on’”

Many people cannot afford to go to the dentist. To avoid dental pain, they chew on the other side of their mouth (the side that doesn’t hurt).

I just looked at the Obamacare dental plan.  Coverage for a toothache consists of chewing on the other side of my mouth.  Good news is that it is free.

Our company’s dental plan is “chew on the other side!”

My dental plan? Oh, it’s totally foolproof: just chew on one side of my mouth until I inevitably develop a lopsided jaw. Who needs actual dental care when you can rely on the power of selective chewing? Genius, really.
