I never write off toothpick. What is the point of doing that? When you do that there is a weeping and gnashing of teeth. Hence the toothpick. I have learnt to keep my mouth shut, except when I have a toothpick. That can keep me occupied for some time. Especially as it helps me get straight to the point. I was saying to someone the other day isn't it funny all these toothpicks people start and before you know where you are the toothpick is forgotten about and they are talking about something like false teeth.
You definitely need a degree in toothpicks if you are going to stay on topic.
