Age is a Funny Thing

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, DDS, 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. Hmmm … Or could he?

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, wrinkled SOB asked, “What did you teach?”
