Dad Can’t Believe Restaurant Doesn’t Have Toothpicks

September 18, 2018

Despite a decent meal and “adequate service,” local dad Kent Benson was dismayed to learn the restaurant he and his family just ate at didn’t have toothpicks at the table or the host stand.

“You’re kidding, right? This is some kind of joke you pull on customers,” he said. “I mean, I see your weird little fancy mints. And some kind of flower thing. But no toothpicks?”

Benson, who enjoyed his steak, even though it was “a bit overcooked,” grumbled all the way home about the toothpick situation.

“I have a piece of steak wedged right in there between the third and fourth molar,” he explained to his wife and kids. “What kind of sick, sadistic people run that place? They probably have a deal with the local dentist or something. Yeah, that’s it.”

Upon getting home, Benson quickly went to his trusty 250-pack of toothpicks in the cabinet and “went to work” on his teeth while watching a late night TNT showing of Shawshank Redemption.
