Did you find your teeth this morning? --- that's what I asked!

I'd venture to say they have more of their teeth than you do. I'd like to ask if you found your sense of humor this morning but I already know you didn't. Maybe tomorrow.

Guess what....you left out the most important part of the question! You asked "did you find your teeth this morning, or did you forget because of your Alzheimer's?" So twice now you've addressed us here as old people, and made matters worse by making light of a very serious disease (and one that some of us have elderly parents suffering with). I didn't answer your question, but do understand why many were offended. Maybe you sincerely meant to be lighthearted and funny, but it wasn't taken that way because of how your question was worded. Please take that into consideration before you decide that no one here has a sense of humor, ok?

Are you brushing three times a day? And flossing at least once a day. I buried my Mom at 83 and she still had all her teeth, and I am 72 and still have mine. I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled a few years back, but that was because I did not have room for them. It is a misconception that one's teeth have to be removed, once they reach a certain age. Stick to good food, lean meat, milk, vegetables, fresh fruit. If you eat candy, be sure and brush afterwards. Let nothing sweet stay on your teeth. Take care of them, see your dentist once a year and get any teeth with cavities filled.
And that good food will keep you looking nice, your hair will shine. Don't lay in the sun and trade tomorrows good looks for todays suntan. Put sunscreen on when ever you go out.
Exercise every day. Don't let yourself get fat and then diet, and then gain again, that way makes wrinkles. Drinking too much will cause you to look older than your years. And it's fun to go out dancing, and laugh, but too many late nights and not enough sleep, will show up in your face.
Look at the glass as half full, not as half empty.
Read the Desiderata, it is so beautiful.

I have a sense of humor and I didn't delete your question.
Most of the folks here will just answer back with humor or say what they think about a question, nothing more.
As for my teeth, I didn't even know mine were missing. lol

Some of my teeth are still in my head where they are supposed to be but sadly the rest of them departed over the years into a dentists waste bin! As for my dentures they are in my mouth for most of the day (and night if I forget to take them out lol) and soaking nicely in a little pot of water in our bathroom during the night. Tc still hasn't got used to his partial denture!
Just a little word of advice because we get the impression you are just a young'un.....sugar free cola and other sugar free drinks WILL rot your teeth just as well as the drinks with sugar in, fresh juice will rot your teeth due to all that acidity so for the sake of your own gnashers.....clean them properly everyday at least twice and keep an eye on your diet.....there are a lot of foodstuffs that will harm your teeth and gums. Not something you'll worry about if you're a youngster but you'll be a Senior one day, hopefully, and you might be hearing "plink, plink, fizz!"
As for the sense of humour you asked about.....we all have a sense of humour but we have to hear something humorous before we have a chuckle.

1. Didn't see your question and therefore didn't delete it.
2. Most seniors I've met here have a fabulous sense of humor.
3. Based on your question, YOU have NO sense of humor.
4. Keep brushing those teeth, but Karma's a b*tch.

Tzo,
Yes, we have a sense of humor. Was your question funny? Just didn't see the humor but maybe I haven't had the opportunity, the time, and the experience to hone my humor like you have yours. Maybe in a few years I too will come to appreciate the fine line between humor and derision.

I answered your question, I said I find them in my bed with me from time to time.

What makes you think that "old" people deleted your answer? It might have been some young person that did it. Heck I am only 51. I told you what my answer was. I didn't see anything wrong with your question. And yes I do have a sense of humor.

This has to be one of the funniest question and answers I have encountered on Y!A.
I burst out laughing when I read the question but have been in total hysterics reading the answers.
Talk about senses of humor.....TOO FUNNY!!!!!

I am old and have my own teeth, thank you. I did not take offense at all. I once asked: Do you suffer from CRS or do you enjoy it, and that got deleted before I could get back to the main page! lol
