A dinner speaker was in such a hurry to get
to
his engagement that when he arrived and sat down at the head
table, he
suddenly realized that he had forgotten his false
teeth.
Turning to the man next to him he said, „I forgot my teeth.“
The
man said, „No problem.“ With that he reached into his pocket and
pulled out a pair of false teeth. „Try these,“ he said.
The
speaker tried them. „Too loose,“ he said.
The man then said, „I have
another pair…try these.“
The speaker tried them and responded,
„Too tight.“
The man was not taken back at all. He then said, „I
have one more paid
of false teeth…try them.“
The speaker
said, „They fit perfectly.“ With that he ate his meal and
gave his
address.
After the dinner meeting was over, the speaker went over
to thank the
man who had helped him.
„I want to thank you
for coming to my aid. Where is your office? I’ve
been looking
for a good dentist.“
The man replied, „I’m not a dentist. I’m
the local undertaker.“
