A Bishop is Reassured Regarding his Loose Teeth

An old bishop, whom I knew, complained that he had already lost a number of his teeth, and that others were shaking so badly that he feared to lose these also.

At this a man of his district said: “Have no fear that you will lose your teeth.”

“Why not?” the bishop asked curiously.

“Well, my testicles have been hanging loose for the last forty years seeming always on the point of falling off, yet I have never lost them.”
