cheer your monday up

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE ANDTHINKING, 'SURELY I CAN'T LOOK T H AT OLD.' WELL... YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE.MY NAME IS JENNIFER GRAND, AND I WAS SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM FOR MYFIRST APPOINTMENT WITH A NEW DENTIST. I NOTICED HIS DDS DIPLOMA, WHICHBORE HIS FULL NAME. SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK-HAIREDBOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY HIGH SCHOOL CLASS 40YEARS 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. THISBALDING, GRAY-HAIRED MAN WITH THE DEEPLY LINED FACE WAS WAY TOO OLD TOHAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE.AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARKHIGH SCHOOL.'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A MUSTANG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.HE ANSWERED, 'IN 1967.' WHY DO YOU ASK?''YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!', I EXCLAIMED.


HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY. THEN, THAT UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, FAT ASS,
GRAY-HAIRED, DECREPIT SON-OF-A-BITCH ASKED, 'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?'

ooh ouch: that would hurt. i remember seeing a young lad i used to know on a bus in england once when i was visiting. and just before i could open my mouth and drop myself right in it, i realized that in fact it would actually be the young lad's dad that i was remembering.

How funny. We have a friend here whose hair is white/gray. He went to uni with hubby, but the last time he was at our house one of the neigbours asked if it was my father-in-law? Thank god, not in front of our friend.
