Things That Could Happen: The Real X-Files.

The Toothbrush Dilemma.

I own a toothbrush with one of those blue indicators on the bristles that slowly turn white. When completely white, I must replace the old brush with a new one. I also use whitening toothpaste to eliminate the yellow stains on my teeth cause from years of coffee taken orally. The blue indicator strip turns white prematurely brought on by the whitening agents found in the toothpaste. Should I replace the toothbrush? If I do not, however, I will never know when to replace it.

Frank and Sense.

If Frankenstein had a younger sister named Ann, and she kept a diary, would it be called The Diary of Anne Frankenstein? Or, is this a little too much? The world may never know.

A Light, Please?

No one has ever borrowed my lighter and didn't try to light it. No one wants my lighter for its pure aesthetic value.

In the Navy.

Does anyone understand Old Navy commercials? I don't think this is a good marketing strategy. I'm confused. Are they selling me pants or... Now, Gap commercials, on the other hand, I get. It's all about the pants, jump and jiving.

Close the Gate-Regulate.

Will they call Bill Gates' situation with the government, "Gates gate?"
