"Does this hurt?" he asks, as his patient's knuckles whitened. Finally the dentist stood back and asked:

"Do you eat lots of candy?"

"No."

"Do you drink lots of soda pop?"

"Very seldom."

"Have you been brushing every day?"

"Yes doctor, three times a day."

"Well, I can't think of anything that's causing all the cavities you have. Can you think of anything?"

"Well, I do like hollandaise sauce an awful lot."

"Hollandaise sauce?"

"Yes, I love the stuff. I have it on everything. On toast, eggs, cereal, ice-cream, pancakes, and so on. I just can't get enough of it!"

"Well, I'll tell you what, let me put in a plate and see if it helps."

The dentist put a plate into his patients mouth, and sent him on his way, with instructions to come back in six months for a check-up. The months passed quickly enough, and soon the man was back into the chair.

"Doc, I can't believe it! Since you put that plate in, I've had no problems with my teeth at all! What was it made of anyway?"

"It was a chrome plate."

"Chrome? Why a chrome plate?"

"Well you know," said the dentist...

"THERE'S NO PLATE LIKE CHROME FOR THE HOLLANDAISE!!!"
