- As for Wonko's toothpick story:
- This is true. One day, in the mall, my boyfriend and I were searching
- for toothpicks, in any "general interest" sort of place. No dice.
- Finally, I sent him in to the last place, and he came out with --not a
- joke-- "Interdental stimulators". Nowhere on the package did the
- word "toothpick" appear. The instructions were word for word from the
- book (whichever one it is; _So long etc_?). So, unless they copied
- Adams, he's telling the gosh-honest truth.
- Yeech! Sort of makes you shiver with revulsion, huh?
