SIMPLE STORY
NEW ZEALAND’S FALSE TEETH New Zealand is famous for its false teeth; even the Wehrmacht has heard of them. This happened to a New Zealander who was captured in Greece. After skirmishing around, he was taken in by some Greeks living in a small village and lived as one of them. He was dark, so he added sideboards to his hair and picked up a smattering of the language. But one thing he overlooked; the Greeks from young to old have magnificent teeth; and he had the usual false ones. One day, while waiting in a cafe, he happened to click his false teeth. In a second, a Nazi soldier sprang up from nowhere, grabbed him and said, "Kom mit me."
