Failure to brush brings on baldness?

My cousin Scott and I exchanged stories about our grandfather's false teeth today.

When I was about 6 or 7, I was staying overnight at my grandparents' house. I needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. When I went into the bathroom, the street light was shining into Grandpa's "Chopper House". I had never seen this jar open before. The light shone right onto his dentures.

I didn't understand what dentures were yet and I was frightened.

I screamed. My need to go to the bathroom vanished. I scurried back into bed and shivered until I finally fell asleep again.

Scott remembered a better story than I did.

Grandpa got food in his dentures while eating a church dinner. He went into the bathroom to wash them.

A little boy came into the bathroom while Grandpa had his teeth outside his mouth.

"What happened to your teeth?" the boy asked.

"This is what happens when you don't brush your teeth," Grandpa said.

"You have no hair," the boy said. "Is that what happens when you don't brush your hair?"
