I think this might be worse than the catheter bag and enema table. These were actually in this woman’s mouth — not to mention that she SMOKED with them in. I’m getting tongue cancer just thinking about it.

Edited to add: Now that I’ve had my caffeine today, I realized we may have solved the problem that this woman and her daughter were going to be facing.

    Oh dear God. I was born, randomly, without four of my permanent teeth so when the baby teeth finally couldn’t take it anymore (at 32) so I learned the process to fit something like this. They fit it and re-fit it and fit it again. Then it goes to a technician who molds it. Those dentures will not fit in anyone else’s mouth but “Gramma’s” and should have been buried with her. So on top of being absolutely disgusting, it doesn’t work like that.
    Sadly, there is a poor person without teeth who will probably take them, putting them in only to eat. But they’re gonna hurt.
    OH, wait a minute! This just got even more disgusting – let’s say they get multiple inquiries and multiple people come to try them out! I think I just threw up a little.

    Yikes. First off, people “pass away”, the past tense of which is passed, not “past”. Second, why do they make it sound as if she simply forgot to take her dentures with her when she left? Also, EWW!

    i think the fact that they think they can get a really good laptop to trade for is craziness! who in there right mind would think, “hmmm, i wonder if i could get some gently used dentures in exchange for this perfectly good laptop i just happen to have lying around.” where do they find these people?!?!?

    The “please don’t flag me” at the end was my favorite part (mainly because I had stopped retching by that point). It’s such a desperate plea… Like some drunk guy who comes up to you and makes disgusting remarks and then says, “please don’t walk away”…

    So, on second look (it’s like a car wreck, I just had to!) I wonder why these have to be “saled” soon. It’s not like they take up a lot of space… Too bad the Lyons don’t have a denture program like their eyeglasses program – problem solved and a cheritable tax deduction to boot. 😉

    First off, dentures are individually fitted. As somebody already pointed out.

    Second… for the price of a decent laptop you could probably pay for dentures of your very own.

    Third… the whole concept is just very, very gross. Even without the smoking.

    I can just see them thinking ‘these things cost a lot of money when gramma got them, we should be able to sell them for about that much!’

    When my uncle passed away and we found his dentures in his stuff, I did briefly wonder if the Lyons took them like they do glasses, then I tossed them anyway. Gave me the heebie jeebies just to touch them. CL never even occurred to me – silly me!

    OK – true story – honest!

    Grampmommy is a teacher also. A few years ago she had a student come in to school on Monday and say that she had gone to Kentucky over the weekend for her Grandma’s wake. She proceeded to tell about it, ” It was kinda sad, but it got real exciting when the police showed up to break up the fight. My Mom and my Aunt got arrested ‘cuz they got into a fistfight over which one of them was gonna get Grandma’s false teeth. Momma said she should get ’em cause they fit her better…”

    Personally, I think sisters should learn how to share nicely.

    Gramma Past
    Gramma Past passed yesterday. Gramma was very active in the local Historical Society. She is survived by her son, Grant Past Jr. and his family. The funeral will be held on tuesday at the Present Funeral Home in Grants Pass, Or. She will be laid to rest at the Future Cemetary at the Past family plot next to her husband, Grant Past Sr.. There will be a reception at the Past home after the funeral. Refreshments will be served, bring your own glass, because, you know, Gramma’s teeth.

    Grandma got mugged by the Tooth Fairy
    Walkin’ home to our house on bingo night.
    You can say there’s no such thing as Fairies.
    But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

    She’d been drinkin’ too much “medicine”.
    And smokin’ her Marlboro’s.
    But she’d forgot her lucky dauber,
    So she staggered out the door without Fix O Dent.

    When we found her the next mornin,’
    At the scene of the attack.
    She had wand marks on her forehead,
    And incriminatin’ glitter on her back.

    You should have just thrown them away, ick, ick.
    You should have just thrown them away, ew, ew.
    Ick, ick, ew, ew, in a funky place,
    where no one will see them ever again.
    Like a garbage can or a sewer drain,
    and we’ll all be happy with out all the pain
    of seeing this ad, and all the disdain.
    And you should have just thrown them away, ew, ew.

    You said that gramma smoked, but can be cleaned right in your post.
    And even have half a tube of Fixodent. Right?

    You should have just thrown them away, ick, ick.
    You should have just thrown them away, ew, ew.
    Like a dusty old bin, just toss them within.
    To try to sell them would just be a sin.
    To throw them away would just take a min.
    And you should have just thrown them away, ew, ew!
