Dentures

Today on the news there was a discussion of a woman who couldn't afford dentures and so had resorted to wearing the ill-fitting dentures of her late sister. While the intended reaction was disgust, the right-winger in our cafeteria stated rather that that was an excuse since dentures can be quite cheaply purchased. I on the other hand saw the problem not so much as an excuse, but a non-issue. Of course you wore your late sister's dentures... What's wrong with that? She doesn't need them anymore. Of course I followed up with "Nothing wrong with looking for a gift mouth in the hearse."

There was no laughter. No comment. Come on... That had to be the best line of the day...
