Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "surely I can't look that old?"
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.<o:p></o:p>
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 Central High School.
"Yes. Yes, I did." he gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "in 1971. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely.
Then, that ugly, old, wrinkled son-of-a-bitch asked, "what did you teach?"
