\ Vyvyan: Could I borrow a cup of sugar please? Neighbour: Another one? How many’s that you’ve had? You’ll rot your teeth you know. Vyvyan: Yeah, I was a bit worried about that, so I had all mine kicked out before I came round. These are Neil’s. \ ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > I have my suspicions about this story. It’s an American website reporting a story they got from a British tabloid which claims that the event happened in Poland. The chances that anyone verified this really happened is slim. Yeah, and the Polish websites I could find with this story are all citing the Daily Mail, so far as I can tell. (And what’s with all the stupid generic file/stock photos used to illustrate this story? Like I don’t know what a dentist or teeth looks like? If you don’t have pictures of, ya know, the actual people or place involved, don’t illustrate the story with some lame generic photos. It doesn’t exactly help your credibility.) ---

Don’t we do this every couple of months or so? Someone posts a link to a crazy story that is really difficult to believe. Then, someone else points out that it’s the Daily Mail, which likely made up the story out of whole cloth. ---

And the Polish websites I’ve been able to find for those two names are all quoting English sources, mostly the Daily Mail (although I’ve found one quoting the Daily News and another the Huffington Post). I can’t find a local account of this happening. Don’t you find that a bit odd? ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Someone pulls a minor story off the wire, then starts filling in the details; you know the drill. It’s certainly possible it’s true. Just really odd that I can’t seem to find any news stories in the Polish media that predates any of these stories. You would think that a Wroclaw newspaper would have a contemporaneous account and the foreign language media would have picked it up, right? I mean, it doesn’t make sense to me that the Daily Mail would be the first to run the story, but what do I know. I went to google.pl, searched Polish language results only, along with the names of the dentist and her ex, and every single article I found was either quoting the Daily Mail or Huffington post, or saying that the story went around the world, including being printed in the Daily Mail, Huff Post, German Media, and Austrian Times, apparently. But nothing predating the non-Polish media explosion. I’m not going to say it’s a fake; but I’m going to say that I haven’t found a credible source for the story. ---

**Chefguy** , the awesomeness of that post is one of the very enjoyable quirks this message board has. Nowhere else on the internet (unless you’re part of other messageboards) would someone be able to make not one, not two, but _three_ puns in one sentence. Keep up the good work sir. ---

One has to wonder if its a test of the viral and gullibility of the average internet audience - not to mention the media thats always looking to ‘not be left behind’ - they can always say ‘we assumed the OP did the research’. ---

About ten years ago there was a story on one of the newsmagazine shows (maybe Dateline) about an Amish woman that took her teenage daughter to an “Amish dentist” and had all her teeth pulled, allegedly as punishment for telling an outsider about sexual abuse she had suffered from relatives. [I found a link](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6839718/ns/msnbc_tv-about_msnbc_tv/t/msnbc-reports-innocence-lost/) to the transcript, It’s quite a way into the text. Doesn’t say what happened to the “dentist”, hope he went to jail. ---
