Overheard…

I love listening in on other people’s conversations. Here is one from today.

First, I heard a woman explaining to her companions “that if you don’t keep their teeth, they’ll sell them.” That was intriguing enough that I listened, and it turns out that she believes funeral homes sell the teeth of the deceased, unless you keep them.

Wouldn’t you love Sunday dinner at her house. “There’s my daughter’s cheerleading trophy,  our wedding photos, and Aunt Martha’s dentures. You know they’ll sell them if you don’t take them, don’t you?”

Now, I’m not sure that there’s a lucrative market in used dentures, but even if there were, what do I care? What the heck am I going to do with them anyway?

Wouldn’t that make a great tongue-in-cheek (couldn’t resist!) horror story?
