Today, I was using a wooden toothpick to try to get at some food that was firmly lodged between my teeth. The toothpick broke and now I also have a splinter of wood jammed in there too. FML

False_Stupidity tells us more.

Tried floss but that didn't work. Ended up buying some plastic toothpicks and was able to eventually pry the food and splinter free. I think I'll be using plastic from now on after this experience.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Dental floss would've been a better choice.

Wooden you choose a less dangerous thing to use?

This reminds me of a tv show I saw. It begins with Thelma coming home from her sister Fran's funeral and she tells everybody how it happened: Fran and her sister are eating dinner in a bar, when she grabs a toothpick and goes into the bathroom to pick some food out of her teeth. Thelma is tipsy, so she sticks a giant fishtail between her front teeth and walks into the bathroom. She looks at her sister and says, "Hey, just be glad you didn't order fish!" Fran laughs so hard, she inhales the toothpick and chokes. At least your story didn't end like Fran's. :)

jam a lumberjack in there to get the wood out

Have you tried to pick it out

Haven't you ever heard of dental floss ?

That's why I prefer floss.
