Shine On


Favorite pastime on morning commutes is listening to the radio ... I have this one favorite radio station too... 104.3 .. and I think I’m more a loyal listener becoz I have won a lot of prizes and give-aways on this station ... but that's besides the point ... (of this blog neways)...
What I set out to write was that ..today morning they had this commercial about bright smiles and how it's a perfect gift idea for your friends or loved ones ... not that it's an inexpensive gift ... at 399 bucks for 60 mins of a machine polishing your teeth for you .. (so you can look like Ross and his phosphorescent teeth in one friends episode) .. it's definitely not a steal .. but doesnt it kind of give the idea to the recipient (of your much thoughtful(!!) gift) that his or her teeth are not in the perfect state of affairs? :) That their teeth resemble ape mandibles? or that it resembles a 24 hour tobacco chewing aleck?
come to think of it ... wouldnt the importance of an expensive gift be belied by the implications of it? :) I'd rather get a gift voucher of 399 bucks that I can use as I please ..rather than a "Tooth Polish" ... my teeth are in perfect health .. (so I would like to believe :) ) thank you ....
