AT THE DENTIST
Â
Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely I
can't look that old!" Well, you are gonna love this one.
Â
I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist when I noticed his diploma hanging on the wall. It bore his full name and I suddenly remembered a tall, handsome dark-haired boy with the same name. He had been in my high
school class some 50-odd years before and I wondered if he could be the same guy I had a secret crush on way back then??
Â
When I got into the treatment room I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was much too old to have been my secret crush... or was
he???
Â
After he examined my teeth I asked if he had attended St. Joes High School.
Â
"Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang!" He said,
gleaming with pride.
Â
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
Â
"1980. Why do you ask?" He answered.
Â
"Well, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.
Â
Then that ugly, old wrinkled son of a gun asked, "What did you
teach?
