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?
AS SOON AS I SAW HIM IN PERSON, 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, '1975. 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 SLOB ASKED,
'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?'
LOL!!!......................
O man, that’s funny. I’m finding that the hot girls got ugly (for whatever reason, weight, whatever) and the average girls back then are better now than the hot ones from back then.
Graduated high school in 76.......for reference.
:)
Now THAT is a funny story!
And you are a good storyteller.
I thought I knew the ending, but I didn’t.
Yup...the cheerleaders are all fat now...and I’m having the last laugh (class of 69) ...50th reunion coming up next year...should be fun...class of over 500
Oh snap!
>>Graduated high school in 76.......for reference.<<
I graduated around there (+/- a few years). Neither I nor my contemporaries are wrinkled although most of us have gotten some snow on the roof (or the roof blew away) and we definitely gained a pound or 2.
Yeah, my metabolism stopped in my 40s. Still going to the gym daily and playing tennis daily in the Texas heat. Turn 60 this year...resting heart rate in the 40s and outlasting guys half my age. Takes work though.......it’s a war.
Bwahahahaha
I still think I look 18 give or take a month or two
And both of us are now prettier than Goldie Hawn
When I have to give my date of birth, I always add “AD”.
I’ll get a laugh from those who knows what it means.
Once a year we visit Alabama from our home in Texas. I lived here in the 60’s and I had several girlfriends along the way.
When we’re back there I find myself looking around, wondering if I’ll run into any of them.
Then a couple of years ago, I told my wife that I was looking for them like they looked at 16 or 17, not now. I probably wouldn’t even recognize them, and they probably wouldn’t recognize me either.
I had hair back then.
As we get older we tend to lose our hearing. I GUESS THAT’S WHY THIS ENTIRE JOKE WAS YELLED.
what?
LOL
Old age loss of hearing and vision is Divine providence.
As you’ve seen it all, heard it all, and said all you have to say.
I knew I was getting old when Mrs. Howell started looking good.
