    I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that particular fetish…

    My neighborhood supermarket keeps the toothpicks locked up.  You have to ask the manager to unlock the special glass case behind the register that contains toothpicks, birthday candles, condoms, batteries, roach traps and other items that have nothing in common except being easily pocketable.

      Ask for them all at once and tell the manager that you are having friends over.

    OK, so they made off with a decent haul. But the real question is whether they got the Holy Grail, also known as the Interdental Woodsticks.

    I’d keep an eye on facebook for anyone posting pictures of the world’s biggest toothpick artwork.
