And with that - Happy Holidays everyone!
A man was bragging to his buddy about his new dental work - a brand spanking new dental plate that replaced his old worn out one.
His buddy asked why he ended up with a new one, and he told him this story:
"I went to the dentist because my old plate was all nasty looking and worn out. It had weird holes in it, and was all discolored. The dentist took one look at it and said it had to be replaced. Then, he asked me a bunch of questions - did I eat lemons, did I drink grapefruit juice, questions like that. I told him no to all of them, and then he asked whether I ate a lot of fish dishes, or veggies like asparagus. I said yes, and the dentist said, 'Ah HA!, with sauce on them?'
I told him of course. Then, he asked me whether I ate Eggs Benedict often.
Well, you know how I like my eggs benedict every morning, so I told him that was one of my favorite breakfasts. Then the dentist said all of these things usually have Hollandaise sauce on them - Hollandaise sauce is very acidic, with vinegar or lemon juice as a main component. This can supposedly corrode dental work. The dentist said they could make my new plate out of gold, but that would be expensive. His alternative was a chromed one - the chrome would resist corrosion of the plate, so that's why my new plate is so shiny."
The man's buddy was impressed, and replied,
"Well, that just goes to show ya............"
