Humor Brief

A man goes to his dentist because he feels something is wrong with his mouth. The dentist examines him and says, "That new upper plate I put in for you six months ago is completely corroded. What have you been eating?"

The man replies, "All I can think of is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus with hollandaise sauce. I loved the hollandaise so much I now put it on everything – meat, toast, fish, vegetables, you name it."

"Well," says the dentist, "that's probably the problem.  Hollandaise sauce is made with lots of lemon juice, which is highly corrosive. It's eaten away your upper plate. I'll make you a new plate, and this time I'll use chrome."

"Why chrome?" asks the patient.

The dentist replies, "It's simple. Everyone knows there's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!"

For the Health of It:  Yes, the holidays are here. Still shopping for someone special? Consider the gift of humor. Tickets for a funny movie, show, or theatrical production. Their favorite comedian or sitcom on CD or DVD. A book or audiobook by a popular author/humorist. Anything that might make them a better humor being.


This Jest In:  We mentioned theatrical productions in the last brief. If you're looking for movies, a search at rottentomatoes.com for comedies in theaters now yields something for everyone including "Dan in Real Life," "Juno," and the hit movie "Enchanted."
