I have a true story about false teeth: a group of people were fishing in the area of the Bahamas the sort of enormous fish Hemingway favoured (don't ask me for their names). As he was bending over the ship's rail his false teeth fell down into the sea. The following day, after catching one of those fish, a member of the group took his false teeth out of his mouth, put them inside the fish and said:" we'll make him believe that this particular fish had swallowed his teeth." And that's what they did. The man, very glad, put the teeth into his mouth but quickly threw them away into the sea while declaring:" They're not mine, they don't fit." |
