Toothpaste wars.......

Linda forgot her toothpaste, which is Crest, to the mighty Curve.
As we all know, Crest was used by Jesus and Fred Thompson, so is apparently approved by all tub-thumping conservative zealot REPUBLICANS.
I, perish-the-thought, use Colgate “luminous.”
Colgate was recommended to me long ago by our dentist, since it is more abrasive than Crest. I use “luminous” because that is what Marcy recommended, Godless liberial that she is.
So Linda used my Colgate “luminous.”
“HMMMNNNNNNN; pretty good,” she thought.
I don’t decide what toothpaste she uses, so she could buy Crest if she wants.
But after using my Colgate “luminous,” she is thinking of switching — and probably will, when her Crest runs out.
LIBERIALS, I tell ya!

“Linda” is my wife.

Horseshoe Curve (the “mighty Curve,”) west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, is by far the BEST railfan spot I have ever been to. Horseshoe Curve is a national historic site. It was a trick used by the Pennsylvania Railroad to get over the Allegheny mountains without steep grades. Horseshoe Curve was opened in 1854, and is still in use.

“Marcy” is my number-one ne’er-do-well — she was the first I was sending stuff to. Marcy and I worked in adjacent cubicles at the Canandaigua Daily-Messenger newspaper, from where I retired. A picture of her is in Conclave of Ne’er-Do-Wells.

“Liberial” is how my macho blowhard brother-in-Boston insists “liberal” is spelled.
