Brad has these awesome "Lunch and Learn" presentations at dental school. Basically some dental company/professional provides lunch for the students and then tells them about their product or company. The great thing is the Brad often gets free lunch 3 or more times a week. I don't have to remember to pack him a lunch!
Brad gets all sorts of great dental products to try for free this way. This includes more free tubes of toothpaste then we know what to do with, floss, mouthwash, and even a free professional grade electric toothbrush from Oral B. Sometime Sonicare is supposed to come and Brad will get another free toothbrush. Brad also won a $50 gift card to Target. Thank you, thank you very much.
One day the presentation was by a company who make loupes (special dental magnification glasses.) These are something you just have to buy even though they are ridiculously expensive. We're talking about putting down a $1000 on glasses! During the presentation, the presenter showed the class the indestructible material that the loupes are made out of. She asked Brad to come up to prove that the material was unbreakable. She gave Brad a hammer and told him to hit it as hard as he could a few times. She said with confidence that if Brad could get it to break she would give Brad a free pair of loupes. With Brad's tennis serve prowess he came down on the magnifier and shattered the thing! The class broke out in cheers while the presenter stood speechless.
Brad received an email from her later saying that in the twenty years she had been doing the presentation no one had been able to break the magnifier, nor had anyone in the testing lab. She was good to her word though. Brad only needed to stop by their booth on campus to get fitted and the loupes were his for free.
They came in the mail last week and Brad had to put them on right away. Don't you love the bug eye look it gives? I will admit they are pretty cool. We are so grateful that we didn't have to pay for them!
*If you are feeling at all jealous of our freebies please remember we are paying a way ridiculous amount of tuition and the free perks are nothing in comparison with that. Even after winning a free $1000 pair of loupes. But it certainly doesn't hurt!

OH my heck!!!!!! Way to go Brad for shattering it!!!!! That is so cool. I hope you guys are having fun and hanging in there!
Haha! That is too funny! What a muscle man!
I was just thinking...we need some new toothbrushes. Maybe Trevor should have gone to dental school. Ha! That's a funny idea because he doesn't even believe in flossing.
Oh, I wish I could have been there! I could have told her you'd have no trouble breaking the material. I wouldn't have, mind you, because $1000 is a nice gift for breaking things. Well done!
