I think this is why I resist flossing so much -- brushing teeth doesn't take very long (although I suppose it ought to take longer, if I were doing 30 seconds per quadrant like you're supposed to!), but I really resent the three minutes of my life I lose every day when I floss. ;) The dentist suggested getting the floss-on-a-stick, because then you can floss one-handed while surfing the web, and the idea is intriguing but the thought of throwing a the stick away every day seems wasteful. But your suggestion sounds like a good compromise; I should try it. :)
