"I oo?" as a small metal instrument slides in beside the mirror.

"I eat a pound of carrots at work."
"A pound? Is that all you eat?"

The dentist greets me as she's finishing up the scraping process and I say, "What's up, Doc?" with my standard Vulcan hand wave as she says, "He has orange teeth!"
He pulls up a chair and looks. She tells him, "they're the back molars."
"They're orange! He has orange teeth!" he's surprised.
"You didn't believe me." she says. "He eats a pound of carrots every day."
"A pound? That's a lot of Beta Carotene. Can you have too much Beta Carotene?"
That's my question to you, Drs. LJ. Can you eat too much Beta Carotene? Yes, carrots are good for me but are too many carrots not so good for me?
And, in case you are wondering, they won't be able to write me up in the dental journals. The orange came off with the polishing.
