The world is full of anti-dentites. We have a worse reputation than Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen mixed together. As long as dentists have existed, so have anti-dentites. Not suprisingly, anti-dentitic philosophies are often spread through the anti-dentite controlled media.
 All joking aside, most of the time it is quite funny to read some of the anti-dentite literature out there. This one comes in from a sports columnist by the name of Rick Reilly. Reilly used to fill the coveted last page of Sports Illustrated with his column "Life of Reilly." Recently he has moved to ESPN but continued with similar observational-type, metaphor-driven, Dennis Miller-esque musings. A writer from Slate by the name of Josh Levin noticed something curious about Riles' writings. Levin found an uncomfortable amount of dental related jokes in Reilly's catalog. He counted them. Turns out there have been 116 dental jokes in Reilly's published works. Levin took the time to write an entire article about it and track down and list all of the 116 references. Levin's article is a funny read and perusing Reilly's repeated attempts at dental humor is funny too...but for all the wrong reasons. Give it a tumble. Levin's article Reilly's Dental Joke Catalog
