A man went to see his dentist because he felt something was wrong with his mouth, his dentures didn’t seem to feel quite right lately.
The dentist examined the man’s mouth and said to him, “That new upper plate I put in for you six months ago is completely corroded. What on earth have you been eating that would cause that to happen?”
The man replied, “All I can think of, is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was delicious. It was Hollandaise sauce. I loved it so much I now put it on everything, meat, toast, fish, vegetables, you name it”.
“Ah I see”, the dentist replied. “That’s almost certainly the cause of the problem. Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon juice, which is highly corrosive. It must have eaten away your upper plate”.
The dentist added this to his notes and then said, “I will make you a new plate and this time I will use chrome”.
“Why chrome?” the patient asked.
The dentist replied, “It’s simple. Everyone knows there’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!”
Sorry, yes I know this is a bad joke, I just couldn’t resist. Laughing is good for you, but sometimes groaning while you laugh is also good.. If you think someone else needs a good groan, please forward this page to them.
