There must have been something in the water.
A Mississippi man snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico this month discovered something another man lost in the waves earlier in the week: his teeth.

“As I stuck my head in the water, they were literally sitting there on the bottom, just smiling at me,” Welborn told the station.
He found a name inside the dentures and, after posting snaps of the teeth on Facebook, located the owner.
That would be Randy Williams, who got slammed in the head by a wave as he was swimming near the same spot during his vacation earlier in the week.
“I felt them when I went in the water and I had them in my hand for a second in the ocean and away they went,” Williams, who lives in Wisconsin, told WALA. He went home without his $2,000 dentures.

Williams was delighted, and thankful, in a Facebook video showing him reinstalling the teeth that almost got away.
