Pretty Much Doubt It

If you were at the grocery store Waiting in line and the person ahead of you was bored with waiting so turned back to talk with you and flashed you a grin... and was missing a front tooth or two... would you respond to her in the same way you'd respond to a woman who packed a full set of mighty bright mighty tight mighty expensive chompers?

I’ll respond to a woman sporting a full set of chompers the same as if she had Elephant mans disease. If she engages me in polite conversation I’ll happily respond, regardless of her outwardly appearance. No doubt in my mind that when bombshell or elephant woman walks away they will feel better about the world we share.
