Unnecessary humor

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, ‘surely, I can’t look that old’?

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist and 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 30-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 balking, 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 Fairview High School.

“Yes, yes I did! I’m a Bulldog” he gleamed with pride.

“When did you graduate?” I asked.

He answered, “In 1975, why do you ask?”

“You were in my class!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely… then that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat-ass, gray-haired, decrepit, son of a bitch asked, “ What did you teach?”
