Comment 4 of 4, added on May 3rd, 2013 at 4:32 PM.
Its always necessary keep your teeth clean

A tooth (plural teeth) is a small, calcified, whitish order found in the
jaws (or mouths) of various vertebrates and habituated to to ease up down
food. Some animals, particularly carnivores, also exercise teeth in behalf
of hunting or for defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by
gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but degree of multiple tissues of varying
density and hardness.

The community structure of teeth is nearly the same across the vertebrates,
although there is sizeable variation in their shape and position. The teeth
of mammals drink deep roots, and this design is also rest in some fish, and
in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, manner, the teeth are attached to
the outer outwardly of the bone, while in lizards they are attached to the
inner side of the jaw alongside harmonious side. In cartilaginous fish,
such as sharks, the teeth are unavailable beside tough ligaments to the
hoops of cartilage that type the jaw.

the jaws (or mouths) of innumerable vertebrates and used to defeat down
food. Some animals, explicitly carnivores, also use teeth repayment for
hunting or in place of defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered
by means of gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but fairly of multiple
tissues of varying density and hardness.

The community systematize of teeth is be like across the vertebrates,
although there is considerable modulation in their shape and position. The
teeth of mammals drink deep roots, and this figure is also rest in some
fish, and in crocodilians. In most teleost fish, how, the teeth are partial

In nineteen hundred forty-nine
China was won by Mao Tse-tung
Chiang Kai-shek's army ran away
They were waiting there in Thailand yesterday

Supported by the CIA
Pushing junk down Thailand way

First they stole from the Meo Tribes
Up in the hills they started taking bribes
Then they sent their soldiers up to Shan
Collecting opium to send to The Man

Pushing junk in Bangkok yesterday
Supported by the CIA

Brought their jam on mule trains down
To Chiang Rai that's a railroad town
Sold it next to the police chief brain
He took it to town on the choochoo train

Trafficking dope to Bangkok all day
Supported by the CIA

The policeman's name was Mr. Phao
He peddled dope grand scale and how
Chief of border customs paid
By Central Intelligence's U.S. A.I.D.

The whole operation, Newspapers say
Supported by the CIA

He got so sloppy & peddled so loose
He busted himself & cooked his own goose
Took the reward for an opium load
Seizing his own haul which same he resold

Big time pusher for a decade turned grey
Working for the CIA

Touby Lyfong he worked for the French
A big fat man liked to dine & wench
Prince of the Meos he grew black mud
Till opium flowed through the land like a flood

Communists came and chased the French away
So Touby took a job with the CIA

The whole operation fell in to chaos
Till U.S. Intelligence came into Laos
I'll tell you no lie I'm a true American
Our big pusher there was Phoumi Nosovan

All them Princes in a power play
But Phoumi was the man for the CIA

And his best friend General Vang Pao
Ran the Meo army like a sacred cow
Helicopter smugglers filled Long Cheng's bars
In Xieng Quang province on the Plain of Jars

It started in secret they were fighting yesterday
Clandestine secret army of the CIA

All through the Sixties the Dope flew free
Thru Tan Son Nhut Saigon to Marshal Ky
Air America followed through
Transporting confiture for President Thieu

All these Dealers were decades and yesterday
The Indochinese mob of the U.S. CIA

Operation Haylift Offisir Wm. Colby
Saw Marshal Ky fly opium Mr. Mustard told me
Indochina desk he was Chief of Dirty Tricks
"Hitchhiking" with dope pushers was how he got his fix

Subsidizing traffickers to drive the Reds away
Till Colby was the head of the CIA
