My teeth did a runner. Last time I went out for a meal. Must been the shock of the. Price. So. Be careful. Put down for a mow and. Turn your back. Whoosh their. Lively. Buggars.
There is a good story I heard during my training, most likely an "urban myth" as came across it in 3 hospitals.
Trainee Nurse on the Geriatric (to be Politically Correct "Elderly Care") Ward, asked to do the "teeth cleaning" am rota for the ward. She (always a she!!) went round the ward with a large plastic basin and collected all the teeth, cleaned them up beautifully, only then did she work out, that she had not kept them in pairs and did not know who any of them belonged to, Chaos then ensued whilst she tried teeth out in every mouth.
Re Political Correctness, why am I now no longer allowed to call elderly care consultants Geriatricians. Consultants for children are still call Paediatricians and Gynaecologists are not called pregnant women's consultants. Yes using Greek in medicine a little old fashioned, but we all know what it means (or most of us) and has been used for a long time.
PC is a load of nonsense. I’d feel better cared for by being treated by a Geriatrician than elderly care consultant. There must surely be young care consultants or is it a case of the elderly looking after their own?🤔
I’ve heard the mixed up denture story a few times. I do hope it’s true. 😂
My friend Janette was a nurse -- she trained in Edinburgh and is _very_ pernickity ... but she told me that as a trainee on her very first night shift, she was told to collect and clean all the false teeth from the patients on the geriatric ward -- and she threw them all into a bowl. She said that she was half way through the brushing thereof when suddenly it hit her, that she had no idea whose teeth were whose.
So there you have it -- straight from the nurse's mouth.
Am I the last to catch up with today's headlines Mr.D ? I do like something I can really get my teeth into 😁 and you've been so accommodating with your rhyme.
To be honest SH I first posted this one 2 years ago. I don’t like repeating myself but I had trouble coming up with something new. Having a lot of responses like I have had usually kick starts me off again so tomorrow’s will be new.😉x
That's right Mr.D......a new day with new rhymes,so make it a good'un would you please. I'm not asking for a spectacular "Classic", but something almost up to that standard if possible! (How blooming cheeky can this Squirrel get eh ?).
Goodnight,Dolly,Scarecrow Sally,Midge and Mr.D. 💤💤💞
My late husband Bob popped his dentures in his cardigan pocket after a meal and settled down to watch TV. A short while later we heard our dog Laddie crunching on a bone. That was odd - we hadn't given him a bone recently. Turned out he'd stolen Bob's dentures out of his pocket and was chewing them up! It took months before the dentist was able to produce a new strong well-fitting set.
Brilliant 👍 thanks for that I can always rely on you to cheer me up 🤣😂 . It’s great youv got an amazing talent in your poems . Are there ever going to be a few poetry books in the horizon. Thanks again 💜💜
Thanks for helping me start the day with a lot of laughs provided by both you and others. It's worth a few coughs that sometimes go with the laughs. Keep it up!
