The interesting thing about AGE

[fickle]

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD. WELL.... YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.


MY NAME IS ALICE SMITH AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.


SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS SOME 30-ODD YEARS AGO.


COULD HE BE THE SAME GUY THAT I HAD A SECRET CRUSH ON, WAY BACK THEN?


UPON SEEING HIM, HOWEVER, I QUICKLY DISCARDED ANY SUCH THOUGHT.


THIS BALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL.


'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.


'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.


HE ANSWERED , 'IN 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'


'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.


HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.


THEN, THIS UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ASSED , GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED,



'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???'
