The other day when I went to the dentist, they gave me a new toothbrush and samples of floss and toothpaste like usual.

I'd so tell him: No wonder you stink. [whether he did or not]

Then they can ask and give pink to people who don't want to gouge their eyeballs out upon seeing the color. Lol. I had bubble-gum pink carpet for 10 years and I can't stand it at all anymore.

Heh. When I was like, five, Mom painted the walls of my sister and I's room BRIGHT PINK. She later had to tone it down with some white sponging so as to avoid members of the family from becoming blind when the morning sun reflected off of the walls.
