How are the mighty fallen

[Jean-F]

My wife came home from a dental appointment yesterday, wreathed in smiles and ill concealed glee.
“What’s the story”, I said, “did they give you a freebie?”
“Better than that”, she replied, “I went to the two receptionists and said, Nicole Blank, 9.40 appointment.”
While one looked at her monitor, the other one said, “Your dad was in here last week Nicole.”
My wife said, “My dad? I doubt it, he lives in Whitstable, Kent, and his surname is Peters.”
The first receptionist said, “Mop of grey hair, his name was Jean-François Blank”
“Oh him, he needs a haircut, that’s my husband.”
She said that they were both apologetic, but she said to forget it, they’d made her day, mistaking her for my daughter!

Cool story bro

Is there meant to be a joke here somewhere?

Worst I have a wife thread ever

Worst I still have my own teeth thread ever

I think that the joke was on me!

Or they think you look really, really old

In all honesty, I’m not too bad for my age, it’s more likely to be that in addition to being 19 years my junior,
my wife looks great compared to me.

Nah, just bragging that he's got an iPad innit.

You're 81 right? No wonder they thinks your her father...no offense!

This would be more impressive if she wasn't young enough to be your daughter

Still, kudos my friend.

Are you suggesting your wife doesn't look great otherwise?

Will need pictures to be sure.

What street was the dentist on though? And, did you go via Finsbury Park or Princes Street Gardens?

I've had a couple of whiskys, so not super sharp.....but is this a joke and I've missed the punchline

I got confused halfway through the story as to who was who

:edit: I've got it after the third time of reading. Your daughter went to the dentists and not your wife.

So it wasn't that much of an embarrassing mistake, you are actually plenty old enough to be your wifes father.
