Snaggletooth!

For years we’ve videotaped the Evening TV-News for later viewing.
The news would finish before we got around to eating supper.
This has the advantage of fast-forwarding the ads.
Lately, we’ve started eating supper before 7 p.m., which means occasionally viewing a portion of the news live, which means we can’t fast-forward the ads.
The Evening News is two segments: -1) local, from 6 to 6:30, and -2) national, from 6:30 to 7.
“Local” has local ads.
The other night we started eating during the local news.
All-of-a-sudden an Aspen Dental ad was on; an ad I’ve fast-forwarded many times.
A smiling lady was trumpeting her dentures, how life was much sweeter than when she was a child.
“They used to call me ‘Snaggletooth,’” she said.
I gagged. My broccoli ended up on the TV screen.
I’d never heard that before.
Another ad I choke on is the Cialis® ads.
“Ever wonder if there’s any water in them bathtubs?” I’d ask.

• “We” is me and my wife “Linda” of almost 42 years.
• “Aspen Dental” is a local dental-care organization.
• There is no plaque in the Dental Hall of Fame.
