Pickles by Brian Crane for January 14, 2019

toothpicks are a waste of wood every time you chop down trees

Don’t think that song would have worked with the Beatles.. All you need is toothpicks….

What the world needs now, is toothpicks sweet toothpicks …

I’ll say a little prayer for you, Earl.

And that is why Opal treats Earl the way she does :-)

Really Earl, you can get toothpicks just about anywhere!

It doesn’t take much to keep Earl happy.

“…Love…sweet love. That’s the only thing …that there’s just…too little of.”

regular toothpicks or the ones that have the floss on the other end?

Love will never remove the food stuck in your teeth.

Tornado season’s comin’. Careful what you wish for.

Earl, don’t get picky!

doesn’t flow very well with the song either

..toothpicks , sweet toothpicks.

it’s the only thing that there’s just

too little of…….

Toothpicks used to be made of bone…

“What the world needs now is Love, sweet Love”

The world has too much love. The love of money, power, things, etc. It’s lacking in love for each other.

I once bought a piece of land 3 inches wide x 1 mile ling. I thought that I would get rich growing toothpicks. Then the big “flossing movement” came along and the market took a dive.

I came back though. It was just when spaghetti was starting to get very popular. I switched crops and became very wealthy, very quickly.

Sorry, but toothpicks disgust me – mainly those that are left in mouths or drop on the ground. Same thing with floss sticks…so gross when people just drop them!

There is plenty of love. The problem is with how much of it is self-directed.

Didn’t think she even knew that word.

From the ADA:

The Trouble with Toothpicks

Serving corn on the cob or pulled pork? Your guests may need something to get food unstuck from their teeth. A toothpick is sharp and can pierce gums, giving bacteria a chance to get in. And no one wants a mouth splinter if it breaks.

I only use toothpicks to test the doneness of cakes!!! =^_^=

For my teeth, as per the instructions of all my dentists throughout my life, I use dental floss. I’ve never once, in my entire over a half a century of life, had a dentist recommend using toothpicks on my teeth!!!

The world needs more common sense
