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.” 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 pair. Try them.”
The speaker said,
“They fit perfectly.”With that he ate his meal
and gave his speech.
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 an
undertaker.”
