TOOTH OR DARE
Dear Pungents, I’m making a documentary film about dental floss. (Really.) I think I’ve come up with a good title: “Hanging by a Thread: A Dental Floss Documentary.” And a good tag line: “There is more to floss than meets the tooth.” But I wanted to check if you have other suggestions. Gary Hallock told me about your site. I’m writing a book of puns and Gary wrote the foreword for it. Thanks for your help! ~Gary, Boston, MA
