Gimme Back My Chompers

This lovely gem was found at http://www.cbc.ca/ under diversions. Of course I quoted the whole passage, and gave the link. Can you imagine a bar brawl where someone steals the other person's dentures? Just the idea of reaching into someones toothy orifice is amazing, but in a fight, it wouldn't be that easy. The man was head locked and must have been either yowling in pain, or yelling obscenities, and then the perp, reached in to remove them. That is my theory, yowling in pain or the obscenity part, because, you wouldn't be yawning during a bar fight. My only question is why didn't Billie Townsend bite back? Maybe, just maybe he just didn't have enough adhesive? I also get a kick out of this because these two men are around the age of my parents. Not that I am saying my parents are old, because as we all know, sixty is the new forty, but, it just seems funny. http://www.cbc.ca/cp/Oddities/070921/K092106AU.html "Man charged with stealing false teeth from another's mouth during fight Published: Friday, September 21, 2007 11:10 AM ET Canadian Press: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS YORKTOWN, Ind. - A man accused of snatching another man's false teeth straight from his mouth during a fight has been charged with robbery. Robert Stahl, 62, was charged Thursday in Delaware Circuit Court with felony robbery and battery causing bodily injury, a misdemeanour. If convicted of robbery, he could face two to eight years in prison. Billie Townsend, 56, told police he went to a bar on July 27 to pay Stahl money he owed him, then Stahl asked him to go outside and started punching him repeatedly. During the fight, Stahl allegedly put Townsend in a headlock and removed his false teeth. "He said, 'You ain't getting these back,"' Townsend told police. Stahl did not attend Thursday's hearing and prosecutors did not seek a warrant for his arrest. Another hearing was scheduled for Oct. 22. © The Canadian Press, 2007"
