Do I look as old as they do?

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 Cathy 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 30-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 as 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?

He answered, in 1975. 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 ???’

Thanks Sandra R

  1. Actually this is almost as bad as being asked when the baby is due and you aren’t even pregnant. NEVER ask a woman when the baby is due unless she TELLS you she is expecting!!!NNEEVVVVEERRR

  2. Kelly, I did that once. I asked a woman when she was due. I got the firmest “I’m not pregnant!” answer I’d ever heard. Lesson learned.

  3. Oh, I had an employee once who was pregnent. She was 6-7 months before she told me, in words, that she was. I believe that my reaction was “Oh, thank God! You look beautiful!” Snickers from the entire office, as I recall.
