GUILTY?

[sharon]

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 CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ..





'YES. YES, I
DID. I'M A RAM,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.





WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.





HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1968. 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-MORON





ASKED,






'WHAT DID YOU TEACH??? "

I would have bitten him.

I had the exact same thing happen to me a few years ago! A guy came in for a haircut and I recognized his last name being the same as a guy I went to high school with. I asked him if he was "Mike's" brother and he said yes. I told him I knew him from high school. Then he asked me what subject I taught! Good thing I wasn't cutting his hair or he would have lost an ear! Yikes!!
