The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 27, 2021

be good to your teeth today and they won’t leave you tomorrow!

I missed the “Friday” at first and didn’t get it. I thought maybe it was a pun on placards. Maybe I’m too zoned out on tryptophan.

When I was a kid, the day after Thanksgiving was when dad took all of us to the dentist. It was like a tradition.

The power of advertising or social media!

now they’re queued tooth to jowl…

You only have to floss the teeth you want to keep…

It’s all a big drill to the dentist.

Hmm, with all the crap of the last two years, I haven’t thought about the dentist much, much less flossing.

They thought you meant plague…

That’s a big crowd. You may have bitten off more than you can chew.

Jack Nicholson called and canceled his appointment. He said you can’t handle the tooth.

And it’s 3 A.M. Edna, call 911.

By the looks of that crowd they’d best break out the N2O to calm them down!(N2O, Nitrous Oxide, Laughing gas)

We pronounce it “plark” and not “plak” here in Australia, so I had to read with an American accent to get it.
