[OT - humor: Too Old]

Forwarded to me:

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 1959. WHY DO YOU ASK?"

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

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD WRINKLED,
FAT, GRAY, DECREPIT SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED, "WHAT DID YOU TEACH?"

I had an experience close to this recently... I was having coffee
with a friend who is my age and who graduated in the same class
as I did. An old guy approached us, and my friend introduced
him; I vaguely remembered his name from HS, and I asked him what
class he was in. Turned out that he had graduated two years
after I did. :-( .

Years ago, still about age 27 or 28, i had a receptionist job
at a museum, and was amazed when a guy i'd had a
hu*mon*gous HS crush on wandered in. My age and almost
completely bald. I wouldn't have cared, he was a cool guy,
but it sure showed me that...time passes! And takes stuff
with it! 8~)

Heh - I think I'm glad I live far away from my old HS. :-)

No kidding! Encounters like that make you run to the mirror and look
long and hard to see what the *other* person may have seen. Ewww,
scary.
