The Man with Somebody Else’s Mouth

Once upon a time there was.a man named Dick, who woke up one morning to discover that the mouth on his face was not his own. Although of course this was hard for him to believe, it was a lot easier than believing that his own mouth had grown so large that if his feet were where his ears were, they would have been just about in his mouth.

Now, Dick was of the firmest opinion that an ear-to-ear mouth, whether yours or somebody else’s, was something that happened to other people. Never to him. So if he just kept his mouth shut, no one would know about his problem and it would go away and his familiar mouth would be back where it belonged, right under his familiar nose and above his familiar chin.
