Very nice. Reminds me of seeing an old homeless guy turn down hard granola bar. “Only one toof,” he said, pointing to his mouth.

I would rather think he would be smiling slyly. 🙂 At any rate, he’s enjoying himself!

You cracked me up–it’s rather like the person in a coughing fit lighting up a cigarette–but much sweeter.
