When I went to the dentist the other day, the hygienist recommended, as always, that I floss every day for maximum gum health. I had a client come in a number of years ago with an invention, a flossing gadget. I sent him over to a patent lawyer I knew, who found that there was already a similar gadget floating around the patent system. The gadget allowed flossing with one hand with automatic advance of the floss.
This morning, I saw a woman flossing while driving. And she did not have a gadget allowing her to use one hand. She had both hands on the floss, mouth open, car moving.
She's lucky her phone wasn't ringing.

Or the people reading the newspaper while driving...
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE????
