You Should Floss!

Sometimes a little bit of flossing can really do you some good.

Life can be filled with negatives, seriousness, and complications, which is why flossing these out of your life is a good thing to practice from time to time.  There are many ways in which people try to avoid these dark areas but a positive way to do so is with comedy!  Get out there and humor yourself and/or someone else!  It feels so good to bring out smiles in people and surround yourself with a warm atmosphere.  Having a lighthearted approach can be very fun and sometimes unwinding in this way is exactly what everyone needs.

So on that note…I gave it a go and literally took flossing to another level…

I created a jumbo floss dispenser for one of my school projects!  This huge, random, spray-painted, cardboard sculpture is made to scale and actually dispenses “floss”.  It reaches almost 4 feet high and a little over a foot deep!  The whole project cracked me up…I carried it around campus, squeezed it in my car, held it and hobbled down a busy street, tried to make it fit nicely in my house, and watched my roommates confused reactions as they walked through the door.  All in all, it was a very amusing day!

I had also thought about making this into some sort of Halloween costume since it was the season for such things, which would have been hilarious.  I would’ve been good to go if I simply cut some foot holes in the bottom and attached some traps to the top.  Also doing a tooth theme with a group of friends would have been brilliant: tooth fairies, toothbrush, toothpaste, dentist, hockey player with missing teeth, etc.  There are so many possibilities!  So if I do not end up giving this jumbo floss dispenser to a dentist office in the area, then this could definitely be a possible costume for next year!   🙂
