Surely I Can't Look That Old?

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, grey-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 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.

Then...

THAT UGLY

OLD, BALD, WRINKLED,

FAT ASS, GREY-HAIRED, DECREPIT

SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED:

"What did you teach?"
