005: Dental Stick


What is it? A dental stick.

Pros: Things that are stuck in your teeth are handily removed. Rounded, ergonomic design allows for more aerodynamic oral movements. Can be used in combination with other dental sticks, plus a lot of spare time, to create a model of anything you want. Makes you look cool if you let one dangle passively from your mouth. Regularly called in as the cavalry in situations when electronics need resetting and that screwdriver you have somewhere in the second drawer is just that bit too big. Provides an extra step insuring that safety matches could be even safer without any possibility of ignition. Allows the pointer to study the definition of their fingerprint when photo is taken. Could make a bridge for ants.

Cons: Calling itself a dental stick is above its station, as if 'toothpick' is preserve of proletariat. If not using Nordic birch (unlike the above), it could splinter, resulting in both food staying in the mouth and the opening of a wound that said foodstuff could infect. Creating a model with many dental sticks only serves as proof of loneliness. Pointy nature makes it a danger to eyes. When alongside its friends in a box, a nightmare to pick up when you inevitably drop them.

Worthiness of pointing motion: 2/10. Given this item is often bought in a fraternity of tiny wooden chums, this item seems insignificant when singled out. Not a good way to waste wood.
