Hi. Could you explain what the main idea at this Irish toast is?

~May your troubles be as few and as far apart as my grandmother's teeth!
 
It's humorous. The grandmother must have terrible teeth.

And it's "of this toast."
 
I've never heard that one before, Lemon~tree. Where did you find it?

I found it on a website, bhaisabah :) The grandmother should go to a good dentist :)

My favorite Irish toast:

To those who love us, may they always love us.
To those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts.
If He can't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.
