3 quotes that will make you want to read the full article:

– “I’m against the proposed Senate bill on immigration, and I have all of my teeth.”

– “I think it is discriminatory to say all toothless people who represent controversial positions shouldn’t be used,”

– “I feel sorry for the poor photographer,” he said, laughing. “If he takes a picture of one side of my face, there’s no tooth. If he takes the other side, there’s no eye. So what’s he going to do?”

Funny and sad at the same time!
