Trick or root canal?
I’ve had mixed feelings about halloween throughout my life. As a kid, of course, I loved it. Dress weird and get tons of candy. What’s not to love?
As an adult I see it as, “I gotta’ buy candy for these monsters?” At least I’ve always had the satisfaction of knowing I was contributing to the decay of the little bastards’ teeth.
We’ll now one my neighbors has spoiled all the fun of this hallowed holiday for me. He’s a dentist, and he’s giving out toothbrushes to his trick or treaters.
I would think he’d be the SOB that would give out the most candy. To build his clientele, if you know what I mean.
Good neighbor? Smart marketer?*
How did I know last night that this fellow was giving out toothbrushes? The kids showed me. Or should I say the dentist’s future patients showed me. Now I have to give candy to these little devils, as they’re flaunting this do-gooder dentist’s gifts in my face. You can’t win.
*Note to the DIY Lobotomy grads: Looks like this smart marketer used the Ask a better Question creative thinking principle, doesn’t it?
