There's Nothing Cutting Edge About Starving To Death

Everything is changing. Obama was elected as our next president, my pilgrimage may take place at a later time because of one thing: I met an inventor that has the potential to change the course of human history. He invented Beyond Toothpaste which I have been using for about a month now. He has done his part, my bleeding gums have been cured, now it is my turn to help him. He doesn't have money to pay for a giant advertising campaign, so I have agreed to be paid in tubes of toothpaste. Funny thing is, I've never been good at sales in my whole life, but I have no problem selling Beyond Toothpaste because it is the first toothpaste that actually cures the diseases of the gums and teeth. Once people I hear my story that I'm not working for money, but rather for tubes of toothpaste, they splatter giggles all over the place and want to hear more. I met a guy named Doug last night at the E Street Coffee House in Encinitas who ended up buying a tube after we had a laugh riot together in our cafe chairs. What set him off is the fact that David's chief attribute is health, but he has had very severe problems doing simple things like finding enough money to eat daily. I told David that the next time he finds himself without food, instead of starving all day, he should call me and I'll get him food. David and I talk a lot about being on the cutting edge of things. He invented a light machine, also he designed sandals for men in the 1950's, and generally is advanced in many respects. I joke with David though, and tell him, "There is nothing cutting edge about starving to death". David is one of those rare people who won't ask others for help when he is in need. Introspection in large doses can lead to either the invention of a revolutionary toothpaste, or to quietly resigning oneself to a life of endless suffering. But not this time. I am going to do everything in my power to ensure David Webster gets the full credit for his invention. Beyond Toothpaste is more than just a revolutionary product, it is a philosophy in the making. 

Here it is, the morning, and I haven't yet brushed my teeth. Instead of the yucky film that used to coat my tongue, teeth and mouth, my entire mouth is free of bacteria, slimy stuff and feels totally wonderful and clean. This stuff is going to revolutionize the entire dental hygiene field. Now, if I can only keep David Webster alive long enough for him to see his dream realized: helping the world keep their teeth and gums, essentially, he wants to see the people free from suffering.
