    Waiter (politely) : Beef steak, pork steak, chicken giblets, Belgian hare, quail-on=toast, baked fish, fried chicken, codfish*balls, turkey* breast, mutton^leg, ham, mackerel, or comitry* made sausage? Plain Old Commoner (impatiently) : Ohj you make me tired! Jist go 'n' git me the com- mon, home=niade sassage that 1 can kind o' chaw with this gol'blasted, jimble^tumble set o' teeth! They don't strike togetheh, so 1 can't eat nothin' much, neithah hahd nah saft A new, enthusisatic disciple of anatom- ical occlusion, across the table, butted in and gave the old Hay-seed a regulation dissertation on articulation of artificial teeth, in meter terms, on occlusal planes, condyle paths, and face=bow measurements, till he got tired again: Yomig man, young man, if my teeth lacked o' cummin' togetheh right M-hen I chawed by your way o' fixing' 'em, accordin' as they do by the tutheh tooth dentist's larnt gibberish, I guess I couldn't hold 'em in, even when I steadied 'em with a big chaw o' saft terbacker on botli sides. If I could only jist git a set that 'd come togetheh rif^lit even one way, I 'd be glad to hold 'em that way, and let the tuth- eh fellehs have thairn to move in them uncom- mon ways, which you tell me mine had ort teh move an' come togetheh in. In fact, strangeh, to be honest; while I wouldn't dis])ute yoh high college lahnin', T can't jist see lioxi: yo' 're gwoine teh make a set o' teeth that 'd awlis come togetheh right and even all 'round, when a felleh bit in dif- ferent ways. I know that even my old ter- backeh'Wohn=off ones didn't do that.
