Does a smile worth paying for?

Imagine companies decided one day to charge for servicing us with a smile. Press 1 if you would like this service with a smile (small charge applies). Press 2 if you don't like to be served with a smile (get a discount). Press 1 and a beautiful Colgate-smile will soon be with you. Press 2 to save money. Why do we take it for granted that people will serve us with a smile on their face?

A smile doesn't pay for services so why do we expect it from others? They say we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried...but they wanted cash!! Now that they made me lose my naivete, I am wondering. A smile is worth nothing to the government when you give it freely. But it might be worth something to the economy.

When people are sad and depressed from losing their jobs and dreams, going around with a smile is economic viagra. The government should make my smile tax-deductible and lower my taxes. Fine, you want cash?

Press 1 to pay with a smile (discount applies). Press 2 to pay the full amount...

Fireworks advertising

Why don't fireworks companies self-advertise by having the last or first firework form the name/logo of the company in a beautiful firework-like pattern? On the same train of thought, what do you think about politicians summarizing major policy plans using fireworks in text formations to deliver their key points in the sky? If fireworks text advertising was possible, companies would rush to sponsor fireworks celebrations in major events which means almost all events that draw good crowds will have fireworks and our nights would be more glitter-colorful. I love fireworks!
