Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age
and thinking
... surely I cannot look that old?
You may enjoy this short story.
While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room
of a new dentist,
I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name.
Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy
with the same name had been in my high school class
some 30 years ago.
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 had examined my teeth,
I asked him if he had attended
the local high school.
"Yes,"
he replied.
"When did you graduate?"
I asked.
He answered,
"In 1971.
Why?"
"You were in my class!"
I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then the son of a bitch asked,
"What did you teach?"
