The entire congregation came out to hear Rabbi Solomon’s first Shabbat morning sermon. It lasted eight minutes. The next Shabbat, Rabbi Solomon’s sermon was forty-five minutes. His third sermon was two and a half hours.

The shul’s ritual committee called Rabbi Solomon in and said, "What is happening here?"

Rabbi Solomon replied, "Well, on the first Shabbos I had just had all of my teeth pulled. My mouth was sore, so my sermon was short. The next week, I had my new dentures and I was feeling fine."

The ritual committee chair said, "But your third sermon was two and a half hours long!"

"Oy," Rabbi Solomon responded. "The third week, I picked up my wife's dentures by mistake."
