Dentures

[playpen]

A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened. The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, by mistake he put his wife's teeth in and couldn't shut up...

My husband is a dentist and probably due to his maturity (he is in his 60s tends to have a large proportion of older patients)
For a number of years we have been used to the varied reasons for having new sets of dentures.
It tended to be:
"I stayed in a hotel abroad and left them on the bathroom shelf" or "I had a clearout and I put them by mistake with some bric a brac for a charity"
But recently the local dog population have been much more daring and have cropped up a few times as culprits.
"I popped my dentures down in the shed while I ate a staffie oatcake and Monty the Jack Russell ran off with the bottom set and buried them"but more
often they are chewed up like the dog munching the spectacles in the Vision Express advert. My last manager lost his Ray Bans to a labradoodle this way.
I am lucky my last dog had a penchant for plastic Alice Bands but at least they are cheaper to replace than dentures. I assume that incidents like this are covered on household policies as my last dog flagellated his otter tail against a leaded window on an antique bookcase and the left side cracked costing a specialist lead window repair of £500.......yes we claimed!
