The Upper Plate
A man went to his dentist because he feels something wrong in his mouth. The dentist examines him and says:
- that new upper plate I put in for you six months ago is eroding. What have you been eating?
The man replies:
- all I can think of is that about four months ago my wife made some asparagus and put some stuff on it that was delicious...
- Hollandaise sauce. I loved it so much I now put it on everything --- meat, toast, fish, vegtables, everything.
- Well - says the dentist.
- that's probably the problem.
- Hollindaise 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 use chrome.
- Why chrome? - asks the patient.
To which the dentist replies:
- It's simple. Everyone knows that there's no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!
