A good friend of mine (still -- one of the few still alive) is about 15 years 
older than me.  he laughs when I complain about dental bills.  he tells me if 
I had been as tough as him as a youngster I wouldn't have to worry about it.  
he has been wearing dentures since before he was 21; lost so many teeth in 
fights, that back then they just pulled the rest.  He doesn't seem the type; 
short pudgy and Jewish. ' never stereotype people, you never know that of 
which an individual really has in his nature.
