THE DENTIST
July 19th, 2005
A man is at the dentist’s office for a routine appointment when
the dentist notices that the patient’s plate is severely corroded,
but can’t figure out why.
The dentist says to the patient, “I’ve noticed that your plate is
severely corroded. Have you had a change in your diet recently?”
To which the patient replies, “Why yes sir. Six months ago my wife
introduced me to eggs benedict. I fell in love with the hollandaise
sauce and now I put it on everything.”
“That’s it! The hollandaise sauce contains lemon juice which is very
acidic. That explains the corrosion of your plate. I can replace your
plate, but I have to make it out of chrome.”
“Why chrome?”, asks the patient.
“Why don’t you know? There’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise.”
