Supposedly this joker designed interiors, a motorcycle, a toothbrush,
and a computer mouse. It is against common sense that one person would
originate superior designs for all those different things. Now I
understand better why toothbrushes are so effing stupid-looking these days.
I like a toothbrush with a plain straight handle. That lets you hold
the brush in different ways to easily reach different parts of your
mouth. When your hand is forced into one position by the shape of the
handle, you have to move your whole head and upper limb to get the
bristles where you want them. If they ever honestly tried using dye to
measure the efficacy of the brush designs of the past fifteen years,
they would find that brushers don't do as well with these frivolous
foolish designs that restrict the hand.
