mikey's funnies Eddie Ogan's False Teeth Letter
Are you curious about Eddie's "false teeth letter"? Here's what she wrote on August 1, 1989: I forgot to tell one thing about the ladies at the convention. Julia, who is a very, very sweet old lady, doesn't like to wear her bottom false teeth. But she needs them to eat. Once she had them in her lap in a Kleenex [when she was sitting] in the front row in the balcony. When she stood, she forgot they were there, and they went flying over the edge, down to the main floor. Since I, at 57, was the young chick, I had to run down the stairs and look for the teeth. I found them under some ladies' feet, and of course they were no longer wrapped in the Kleenex. When I excused myself and got them off the floor, I tried to smile very broadly so they would see that I had teeth on the bottom and wouldn't think the ones I was holding were mine. That night we went to a really nice Chinese food place. When the food came, Julia remembered she didn't have her teeth in. When she pulled them out of her purse, the handkerchief she had them in stuck, then came loose—and the teeth went flying. I had to crawl under a table on my hands and knees to retrieve them. The next day after we checked out of our motel, Julia couldn't find her teeth in her purse. So we went back to the hotel, I got a key for the room and tore everything in the room apart—took all the covers off the beds, looked under the beds, opened every drawer, and went through all the wastepaper baskets and bath towels—but [we] never found her teeth. I told Julia maybe the Lord wanted her to buy a pair that fit so she could wear them in her mouth instead of in her purse. home | about us | donate | subscription center | advertise | contact
