matches

teller küsis paar päeva tagasi, kust saavad hambapasta sisse triibud, ja vastas ise endale väikese eksperimendi teel. mina tahaksin küll väga teada, kuhu kaovad tikud. ostan üsna sageli 10 pakki tikke. ja iga kord kui ma sirutan käe köögiriiulile, kus tikud ühes väikese korvis on, ei ole seal mitte midagi. nagu eile, kui ma läksin õue vanu kaste põletama ja pidin poest läbi hüppama, et tikuvaru täiendada. keegi peab neid varastama, mingi hiir või mõni teine loom. mina ei leia ühtegi teist seletust...

teller asked a couple of days ago how toothpaste gets its stripes and answered himself by way of a little experiment. what i would like to know is where do the matches go. quite often i buy a 10-pack of matchboxes. and whenever i reach my hand to the shelf in kitchen where the matches are in a small basket there is nothing there. the same happened yesterday when i went outside to burn some old boxes and had to stop by at the store to stock up on matches. somebody must be steeling them, some mouse or other animal. there is no other explanation...
