My west coast brother has informed me that today is ".Geriatric Tooth Fairy Day." I'm intrigued by this but not quite sure how it works. Does the GTF find your dentures if you misplace them? When I popped a crown off while eating a Tootsie Roll, should I have put it under my pillow with the hopes that the GTF would leave a check (or cash) sufficient to pay the bill for having it reattached? A friend of mine has told me the story of an unfortunate denture related incident. In the years between her first and second marriage, she had a first date with a guy who brought her home after their dinner date and passed out on the couch. I suspect a little too much to drink. Before he totally passed out he took his dentures out and laid them on the end table. She went into the kitchen for some water and heard a crunching, slobbery kind of noise, and ran back to the living room just in time to rescue the dentures from her curious dog. (Where was the GTF then?) They didn't look too bad (her description) so she laid them back on the table, and settled down with a good book. Eventually, he woke up, popped the teeth in his mouth, and left. Evidently they felt ok, or he was too numb to notice. There was no second date.
