DENTAL hygiene is vitally important, and two inmates at a US prison made the most of the need for oral health last week by breaking out using a toothbrush.
The pair were locked up in a Virginia gaol, and reportedly tunnelled out of their cell using "primitive tools" which included the toothbrush that helped them dig a hole in the wall - in turn giving access to metal reinforcement which they used to further facilitate the escape.
After getting through the wall they scaled a fence and then walked about seven miles to a neighbouring town.
Their taste of freedom was short-lived (but probably delicious) after locals spotted them at a local International House of Pancakes (IHOP) outlet and called the police.
The sheriff's office confirmed they had been recaptured, and PD would like to note that when the pair face court over the daring escape they will have to tell the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth.
