In Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, he describes an "invisible hand" which is a metaphor for the idea that people acting in their own private interests will improve society as a whole. This principle of capitalism is an integral part of the modern market economy.
...every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good. (Smith, <U>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations</U>)

A.k.a. 'linear' or 'lingual' braces: braces that are clipped from behind the teeth to hide what's known colloquially as braceface!
Cosmetic dentistry is an 'art' practised by dentists that no longer call themsleves so, but prefer the moniker 'hygienists'. They can do a 'smile-lift' or 'face-lift' for you. Or, as 'invisible braces' go, you want to have invisible fillings (made from plastic/ porcelain and fixed by a 'targeting' blue light denting-bonding ingredient!) the next time you're visiting one.
Also, non-invasive veneers: they are non-chilling, free-sculpted veneers. There's bonding which uses a composite bonding material that uses resin molds for teeth-whitening and power-whitening or 'chairside' bleaching: one-visit, light-activated gel combined with high-intensity plasma light that gives you a 'whiter shade of relief' in just a few minutes!

While in the process of fellatio, a man closes his eyes, once he reopens them there is no one giving him fellatio.

On Facebook, when you hover over your "like" button with the mouse and the text popup says "No one currently likes this." Even tho you have at least 1 "like" Showing up.
Mainly cause by who ever liked your status or comment blocked you, or you may have blocked them.

You: Hey that's weird! Someone like'd my comment. But when I cover over it, it says "No one Currently likes this"
Facebook Friend: I see it, it says "First Name Last Name likes this!"
You: Than that person might've blocked me afterwards. So it's an Invisible "Like". lol
