The boomerang toothpick, clean both sides of your teeth at the same time.

You know what I’m going to say, don’t you?

atomicdog was just about to have a heart attack, I think.

Dats funny

“I never noticed dat factory across th’ street from my house before!”

My dad put all our family’s money in Crescent Toothpick bonds. We ended up with 200 cases of them when they failed. Me and my brother sold them door to door as guitar picks, press-on nails, crevice cleaners and eyebrow replacements – whatever seemed appropriate at each house. We were poor but we weren’t happy either.

I always mistake neon signs for the moon – who doesn’t?

Ahh, a throwback to the Industrial Revolution. Huge building for a tiny product. And right on Sluggo’s Drabb Street, so you know the poverty level. Wait’ll Karl Marx hears about THIS!

Crescent Toothpick Company? My grand dad put all the family’s savings into CTC stock. In 1928.

For years afterwards he bemoaned that he didn’t invest in gutta percha futures instead.

Not the brightest fellow.
