Is this sentence correct?
The moment the amalgam filling left my mouth it transmuted to hazardous waste, only permitted to drive on public streets by a special hazardous material transport carrier.
I want to express that the dental filling was as long as it remained in my mouth recommended dental material. Afterwards, it was hazardous wast. The filling material transformed as the frog transformed into a prince (only the other way around).

How does a chocolate Santa Claus put on his clothes?
Last week while driving home I heard a radio programme offering an interesting profile of a family-run company near Cologne which fabricates hollow body packaging machines. I was intrigued by it immediately, like at the time when I saw the TV Broadcast „The Programme with the Mouse" (Die Sendung mit der Maus).
This TV Programme runs since 1970 with a great success. It's the most watched TV programme for children in Germany. As a matter of course I watched it in my younger years every Sunday morning. To by honest I watched it also in my later years. I received the answers to unresolved, but considerable questions as:
How come the stripes onto the toothpaste?
Why is always light in the refrigerator?
How does a nuclear power plant work?
Well, a new crucial unresolved question emerged:
How does a chocolate Santa Claus put on his clothes?
