"What is '3D White brand'?" San Geraldo asked as he peered down at his crossword puzzle.
"Crest?" I asked in return.
"Crest?" he repeated.
He looked perplexed. "I have everything filled in around it, but there must be something wrong because I've got the word 'oralb'"
"Oralb?" I laughed, "like in Oral-B?"
"¿Qué es 'Marca 3D White'?" preguntó San Geraldo mientras miraba la crucigrama.
"¿Crest?" le pregunté.
"¿Crest?" el repitió.
Parecía perplejo. "Tengo todo a su alrededor, pero debe haber algo mal porque tengo la palabra 'oralb'"
"¿Oralb?" me reí, "como en Oral-B?"

DeleteCanon SX720 HS wih 40x optical zoom! I love it especially since it still fits in a pocket.
I haven't had breakfast yet--Carlos is making pancakes--and now, seeing that bug, I may not be hungry.
ReplyDeleteWho am I kidding? I said 'pancakes' didn't I?
Bob:
DeleteI miss Jerry's apple cinammon pancakes!
That beetle can probably do better filling in that crossword puzzle than I could.

Come to think of it, Oral-B is a rather odd brand name.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI agree. I looked it up and leraned the B stands for brush. Still odd.
I misread the clue and thought it said "3D white BREAD" . . . I wonder what that would be, lol?
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteWonder Bread with the red, yellw, and blue balloons floating off the wrapper.
