"travel floss"! in little containers that look like bottle caps

My new dentist, it turns out, is a big comedy fan and wants to come see one of my shows!

Also, despite having not been to the dentist since college, I have no cavities, for a grand total of no cavities ever. This is so spiffy.

Also: free bag of stuff from the dentist is way too exciting. It doesn't matter how much you paid for something; if you get a free toothbrush, it's a consummate bargain. The guy in the Guiness Book for being the best salesman ever had a trick -- he bought a bunch of fancy gold keychains for $100 each. He put the keys to the new cars on the keychains. And then, when it came time for the critical moment of sale, he held out the keys, and the customer would reach for them -- and then the customer had just bought himself a car.
