Miranda likes to sing, and when- ever she begins, her husband heads outside.
Hurt, she asked him, "Don't you like my singing?"
"Of course, dear," he replied. "I just want to make sure the neigh- bors know I'm not beating you."
Harold’s wife bought a new line of expensive cos- metics guaran- teed to make her look years younger.
After a lengthy sit- ting before the mirror applying the “miracle” products, she asked, “Darling, honestly, what age would you say I am?”
Looking over her carefully, Harold replied, “Judging from your skin, twenty; your hair, eighteen; and your figure, twen- ty five.”
“Oh, you flatter- er!” she gushed.
“Hey, wait a minute!” Harold interrupted.
“I haven’t added them up yet.”
My neighbor was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn.
He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down on a lawn chair. He said with excitement "you appear quite elderly to be driv- ing."
"Well, yes, I am," she replied proud- ly. "I'll be 97 next month and I am now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore. You see the last time I went to my doctor he exam- ined me and askedifIhada driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the waste basket, saying........
'You won't need this anymore.' So I thanked him, got in my car and left!"
A guy took his girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked it.
"Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn’t understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her boyfriend asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was...'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like... Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!"

Jane: My mother always taught me to beware of the man that can fix everything. You'll never get any- thing new.
526 Teeth Removed From 7 Year-old Boy's Jaw
Doctors do a physical count of the teeth removed from the jaw of the seven year-old boy
In the world’s first case, around 526 teeth of varying sizes were extracted from a seven-year-old boy’s right lower jaw in a five-hour surgery carried out by doctors in the Indian city of Chennai.
According to Press Trust of India, the doctors claim it was the world’s first case in which such a large number of teeth were found and extracted from a single site.
Dr. Pratibha Ramani, Head of Department of oral and maxillofacial pathology at the Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, a private hospital and col- lege, stated that the boy was
brought to the hospital with a complaint of a swelling in the jaw.

“The issue was noticed when the child was three years old. It was ignored then as he did not cooper- ate.. four years later, it took a lot of efforts to con- vince him for the surgery as the swelling increased,” Ramani told PTI.
Dr Senthilnathan said: “A 4×3 cm tumour was removed from the lower right side of his jaw, after that, we came to know that 526 teeth were present there.”
Though the size varies, we call it teeth because every piece had elements of teeth
(enamel and root) in it, she stated.
She said the boy was discharged within three days after surgery.
In 2014, there was a similar case in Mumbai where 232 teeth were extracted from a teenage boy’s mouth.
“This is the first such case in the world where 526 teeth were removed from a single site – right lower jaw.”
Seven patholo- gists and five sur- geons were part of the operation that took five hours, mid- day.com reported. According to the hospital, the sur- gery, which would have cost between Rs 75,000 and Rs one lakh, was done free of cost under a Tamil Nadu government scheme.
