2 Toothpaste Questions

[sherrardk]

Why does a tube of toothpaste sometimes come in a limitless cardboard box (Colgate). And where is my new tube of toothpaste, the empty box is there but no sign of the full tube,

[Old_Geezer]

Can't say I've ever seen a limitless box. Is it a bit like the Tardis ?

[Mamyalynne]

a limitless box??

[sherrardk]

Sorry, I did that on my phone, it was meant to say LITTLE, although limitless would be excellent.

[paddywak]

The tooth fairy has probably been around.

[Wharton]

I can see the full tube

[grasscarp]

The full tube fell down and is behind the pedal bin in your bathroom.

[sherrardk]

Wharton - where is it then, I can't wake the children up to ask them where it is?

[Old_Geezer]

Well there's the answer to the second bit then, it slipped further into that limitless box and you can no longer see down that far. Hold it above your head and keep shaking until it comes back.

[Wharton]

LITTLE? - Oh that explains everything :-)

Some further questions:

1. Is the concept of a 'limitless box' best discussed with regard to relativity or philosophy?

2. As everyone's mother will have asked their offspring thousands of times, "Where did you last see it?"

3. Why are you buying Colgate when the supermarket's own brands are far cheaper?

4. Which one of your kids might have though up an alternative use for a whole tube of toothpaste (or who simply hates cleaning their teeth)?

5. Why am I typing all this rubbish?

[Wharton]

It's YOU ya tube (Glasgow expression) tube = foolish or ineffectual person :-)

[sherrardk]

Buenchico - in answer

1. Don't do philosophy, haven't got the concentration span to be bothered

2. Suspect boy 1 opened new tube, but he is asleep so can't ask him till the morning

3. Buy Colgate (on offer) from Asda as it has 1400+ somethings of fluoride (no fluoride in the water here).

4. Thing 1 is partial to putting toothpaste down the toilet but is too tired to be that naughty now she is back at school.

5. Because you are bored.

Some rather strange lyrics near the end but I heard this today and it made me realise I am 'The Luckiest'
