Today I took out a piece of Trident, and for the first time in all the years I’ve been chewing that particular brand of gum, I connected the name to Poseidon’s pointy stick of choice. I guess I’d just been too busy associating the "dent" with four out of five dentists.

I’m not sure which is weirder: that I never thought about that before, or that I'm thinking about it now.
