A toothless guy goes to the dentist to finally get some dentures.
After several appointments he finally has a beautiful new set of teeth. But only a few months later, he’s back at the dentist saying there’s a problem. The dentist looks and his mouth and is shocked: both plates are so corroded the damage is irreversible.
“How on earth did this happen?” Asked the dentist. The patient bashfully explained, “I have to confess, I REALLY love hollandaise sauce. It’s actually how I lost all my real teeth. But I had no idea it would affect dentures too.”
The dentist just couldn’t believe this could be possible and said, “it must be a defect, dentures are supposed to be a lot stronger than that. I’ll have them remade for free.” So he puts in for another pair and a couple weeks later the patient has the replacement.
But again, only a few months later, the guy is back at the dentist with the same problem. The dentist can’t believe what he is seeing. “It’s got to be the hollandaise doing this, you’d better stop eating it,” he tells the guy. “I’m sorry, I can’t. I love it too much,” the patient replied.
The dentist thought for a bit and then said, “tell you what, if you don’t mind a silver smile I’m going to have the plates remade out of chrome. The acids shouldn’t affect that.” To his surprise the guy agreed right away, and soon the chrome plates arrived. “I want to see you back here in a few months, whether or not they’re holding up,” the dentist ordered.
So in a few months the guy returned, and the dentist was delighted to look in his mouth and see a perfect, shiny set of chrome dentures that looked as new as the day the patient got them.
“Well, you know what they say,” the satisfied dentist said, “there’s no plates like chrome for the hollandaise.”
