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 40-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 1965. Why do you ask?"

"You were in my class!", I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled ,
fat ass,
gray-haired, decrepit son-of-a-bitch asked, "What did you teach?"
