    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 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 Park High School.

    "Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a mustang," he gleamed with pride.
    "When did you graduate?" I asked.
    He answered, "In 1959. Why do you ask?"
    "You were in my class!", I exclaimed.
    He looked at me closely.

    Then, that ugly, old, bald wrinkled, fat, gray, decrepit son-of-a-bitch asked, "What did you teach?"
