A Worthless Post of Dental Humor

I had to dig my old Letterman’s sweater out of a high school box and came across a few memories. You’ll see why I needed the sweater in another post, but I found a thank you letter I wrote in ’92 or ’93.

There’s been some discussion on my facebook status concerning my humor. I asked everyone to pop by www.christinaberry.net/editing.aspx to see if the humor made the page feel unprofessional. The general consensus is that a client will find me out eventually, so I might as well be upfront. 🙂

And, without further ado, a very punny letter from a shy, awkward girl who was entering a Miss Teen pageant. (NO COMMENTS needed on that!!!)

Dear Dr. Jones,

I’d just like to thank you, my dentist, for helping to bridge the gap between my dreams and my usual world. Your sponsorship gives me a shot at the crown of Miss Teen Oregon. Trying to scrape together the money for the pageant has really drilled the importance of doing my best into my mind. Learning to deal with the brush-offs has helped me to build up my character. I was quite numb with relief when I received all my sponsorships.

The pageant is in two weeks, and I find that plans for it are filling my mind. I’m getting a little anxious. The root of my anxiety lies in not knowing what to expect. I only hope that I will have the wisdom and determination to take full advantage of the wonderful opportunity.

Keep pulling for me,

Christy Ashcraft

    Hi Christina –

    Love it!

    Professional does not mean impersonal.

    Blessings,
    Susan 🙂

    Ha ha ha! Even back then you were awesome!

    I’m interested in hiring you to edit my devotional. Do you do non-fiction?
