Quote:Bale (Switzerland - A 74-year-old man lost his dentures down a public toilet after being attacked by a prostitute in northwestern Switzerland, local authorities said on Thursday.
The man was attacked early on Wednesday evening as he opened his wallet to pay the 21-year-old prostitute, according to the Bale city prosecutor.
The young woman punched and kicked the man in an attempt to steal his money but instead dislodged his dentures which fell into the toilet and could not be recovered.
The prostitute was later arrested.

I can just imagine making the insurance claim for the lost dentures.
Man: Hello, State Farm? Sorry I'm hard to understand. My dentures are lost and I'm looking to make a claim for replacement value.
State Farm: And how did you lose the dentures?
Man: Well, it's a long story. But I tell ya, my wife doesn't understand me!
State Farm: We recently received reports of a set of dentures floating in the canal. Are those yours by any chance?
Not in Switzerland .... and with SUVA - "Switzerland's most important carrier of obligatory accident insurance" :wink:
In the US, yeah, they'd probably consider the recovery of the, er, property, to be fair replacement value and then wash their hands of it.
Many times.
With lots and lots of antibacterial soap.
It's a good thing he was wearing dentures. Real teeth are harder to replace!
But... but... but you replace them with dentures (or implants), so same difference.
Stumble It!
