| 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. I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his BDS diploma on the wall , 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 St. Mary's high school. "Yes, yes, I did," he gleamed with pride. "When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1984. Why do you ask?" "You were in my class!!!!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled faced, gray-haired, decrepit, son-of-a-bitch, asked, "What did you teach ???" |
