Dentist recommend removing dentures at night. Besides the possibility of getting choked on them, soaking them overnight gives them plenty of time for extra cleaning. Though I’ve started using a lower partial denture, I seldom use it as most food I like can be chewn without it.

This is a very old joke.

So do mine.

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes

If you’ve got water on the brain

Don’t light the flame or you’ll be to blame

The spark of love may take your breath

The water starts a-streamin’

Your ears will start to steamin’

And you’ll perculate yourself to death

Too many fights, too many scars

Too many knots upon my head

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, now!)

Love was in bloom, then she lowered the bloom

And now I wish that I was dead bloom?

She’s got me educated

My eyes are granulated

’Cause she hit me with the sugar bowl

(In my bloomers)

Her teeth were like the stars above because they come out every night

Her hair so fair, she laid it on a chair

Because I seen it a-layin’ there

I cocked an eye at her. She cocked an eye at me

And we just set there cockeyed as could be

Don’t let the stars get in your eyeball sockets

Anybody remember the “Arthur” episode “Grandma Thora Appreciation Day”? In that episode, it’s also explained that Grandma Thora keeps her teeth in a glass.

Geese don’t have teeth.

Chemists keep their false teeth in a molar solution at night.

My dad tried to get used to his false teeth quicker by trying to sleep in them. They bothered him so much in his sleep that he pitched them across the room. Got up later to go to the bathroom and bit himself on tje foot. True story.

This is the COMICS, if the author wants her to have teeth, she has teeth.

Both of my parents started using dentures earlier in life than usual. So I try and take good care of my teeth. My mother still has my late father’s denture cup by the bathroom stink.

The “Maneater” only comes out at night. Thus spake Hall & Oates.

Oh wow, that’s got to be at least a century old one, if not longer.
