How important is it to floss?

Very important. My dentist once told me that if I don’t floss I would die. I carry that warning with me every day. Imagine that ‘Death-by-not-flossing’. Sad... Unless you’re talking about flossing, as in bragging. Then it’s not important at all. I don’t like braggarts.

If a train leaves the station at 2pm, carrying 17 people, and stops once to pick up 4 more people, why?

Oh no. I’m terrible at these things. Uhm...I don’t know...carrying 17? Including the driver? Let’s exclude the driver and come to a total of 16, then by stopping to pick up 4, we can have a nicely rounded number like 20. I’m completely wrong, aren’t I?
