Another Oracle answer. This one isn’t all that good though.

< I owe you a left-handed toothbrush. Where can I < find one? The folks at Wal-Mart laughed at me, < and told me I’d find it in the paint department < right next to the striped paint. They were wrong.

Listen more carefully, I said leaf-handled, not left-handed. And looking for anything in Wal-Mart is never a good idea. That little yellow smiley face is just a facad for one for one of the most dangerous creatures besides the clown in Stephen King’s "It". So for starters, stay away from Wal-Mart, especially after dark.

Anyway, back to the leaf-handled toothbrush. If you had paid attention to your teacher Mrs. Grainsworthy in your 9th grade geography class you might have remembered that in the South American rainforests the natives of that land don’t exactly have the latest in consumer items, so they live off the land and so for keeping proper dental hygine they brush their teeth using branches and leaves. The really good toothbrushes are made by a shamen name is Gri’es Zoram. While you are there would you pick up a jar of bubble-free bubble bath? Thanks.

You owe the Oracle a leaf-handled toothbrush and a jar of bubble-free bubble bath.
