Hello Everyone! - Haven't had time to catch up with the board because the grandchildren have taken over our place. No complaints - just not many free moments. Did take time to check an email account and this came in from my cousin, you gotta love her, like three days ago. Certainly hope you find this as funny as I do... * Gentle Hugs *
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 ALMOST 40 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
1969. WHY DO YOU ASK?'
'YOU WERE IN MY CL ASS!', I EXCLAIMED.
HE
LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT "A_ _",
GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT SON-OF-A-"B" ASKED, 'WHAT DID YOU
TEACH?'
