Getting Older?
« on: September 12, 2008, 09:11:17 AM »
Geesh, I left HS in '75!  ::)

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 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 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 1975. WHY DO YOU ASK?'
> >
YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.
> >
 HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSER
> >
THEN,

THAT UGLY,

OLD,
> >
BALD,
> >
WRINKLED,
> >
FAT ASS,
> >
GRAY-HAIRED,
> >
DECREPIT
> >
SON-OF-A-#$%* ASKED,

A couple of years ago, my wife was channel surfing and stopped on a program where PBS had reformed groups playing in a special concert.  These were groups that were popular with the youth during the late 60's and 70s.  The performers all sounded exactly the same as they ever did.

After watching in fascination for a while, my wife said, "I can't believe how old these people look!"  And, then gave me the look that indicated a response was required.
So, I said, "Shall I bring you a mirror?"

....missing teeth and with two black eyes.

Or worse still, with a severe attack of the long term silent treatment. ;)
