Funny and Sad

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 , AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. 


I NOTICED HIS DDS 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

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 1967.. WHY DO YOU ASK?' 


YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED. 


HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. 


THEN, THAT UGLY, 



OLD, 


BALD, 


WRINKLED FACED, 


FAT-ASSED, 


GRAY-HAIRED, 


DECREPIT 


SON-OF-A-BITCH 


ASKED, 



'WHAT DID YOU TEACH???
