Thanks for the laugh, it's been an awful week and I really needed it.

You'd think you'd notice teeth right quick. Just goes to show that no matter how creative we are, we cannot make up a world weirder than the one we currently live in.

OMG!!! I had an uncle who would take his dentures out & chomp them at us, but I'm pretty sure he did NOT take them out to eat. Thanks for the giggles!

Reminds me of a lost and found clerk at a major Sydney (Australia) railway station talking about the most unusual item of lost and found he'd ever had - an artificial leg. He wasn't sure how the owner came to leave it behind, but it was never claimed.

My favorite is when people somehow leave one shoe behind. How do they not notice that they're wearing only one shoe?

Reminds me of when I was a teenager and worked at a fast food restaurant. The manager told me to go out into the dining room and clear off tables and empty the trash cans. So I did. In the process I managed to throw away dentures that were wrapped in a napkin and took them out to the compactor and hit the button. I thought the same thing. "Who the hell takes their teeth out to eat?"

my grandmother lost her teeth at my house...

They hurt when she ate, so since it was a partial set or something, she'd take it out and wrap them in a napkin. Trouble is she put them in my aunt's purse, and not her own!!

That reminds me of an experience I had: years ago, when I was a journalist, I interviewed a high-ranking executive at a major company. In the middle of the (on-camera) interview, his dentures kind of slipped and fell out. But he kept talking as if nothing were wrong, and he even nonchalantly put them back in and finished his comments. It took a lot of self-control to not burst into laughter. When we finished recording that take, I asked if we could re-record it, and he wondered, 'Why?'

Thanks for your funny story!

You don't know if it actually took her a day and a half to realise. She could have just been too busy to ring. Of course, this still means she's pretty stupid, but not quite to the same amazing degree.
