I met this weird guy

I met this weird guy who said he smoked a joint before he went toothbrush shopping and in the process was almost sold on one of the various "pulsating" toothbrushes.
They were blowing them out for $6.99.
It was then that i got involved. I immediately started fantasizing about what would have been if I had only gotten into toothbrush design. There are all kinds of neat flaps and flippers and rotating and pulsating heads... Indeed I missed my calling.
Yes sir you see with our new megatron spin eliminator with the special intratooth modules, you'll never have a brighter cleaner smile. It even has a recalculating sensor that will personally adjust to your tooth type. It has one spinning head and one pulsing head and if the dog gets a hold of it then there is a self destruct.

Later out hero was at the checkout with 6 toothbrushes and some chocolate. The young woman at the cash smiles and mentions the irony of the purchases. Our hero follows with some lame banter and then bursts out in a loud cackle... Nothing else is said between the two.

The next interaction occurs out on the street when some jackass sets off his car alarm when something in his pocket pushes the "panic" button.

The panic button is sold to fool consumers who believe that in the event that they are walking to their car and some "bogeyman" were to attack them then they would simply hit the panic button which would set off their car alarm, which would then cause everybody in the area who could hear the alarm to immediately drop everything that they are doing and rush over to the "distress signal" to offer their assistance.

Only it seems that every time that #&*%^#&$# alarm goes off people get angry at the fact that they have been disturbed by some irritating noises and end up having some discourse with the innocent.
