Mistletoe

Thanks to TriviaToday for this one:
Ahhh Mistletoe. That lovely plant where two people lean in and kiss each other in an expression of love and holiday spirit. So what exactly is mistletoe? Well, it's actually the result of bird dung. Birds eat the mistletoe berries, the berries go through their digestive tracks, and then the droppings are, um, ya know, released. The fecal matter lodges in trees and grows as mistletoe. Romantic right?
But fun fact number two: Most forms of mistletoe are also parasites, sucking life out of their host tree in order to survive. And if that's not a symbol of love, we don't know what is.
And to all a good night......

My teeth are not that big. I resemble that.
Neither is my nose. What do you think I pick it with, a telephone pole?
