OWN AGE AND THINKING 'SURELY I CAN'T 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 a 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 1967. Why?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then asked. "Well I'll be! What did you teach?"
Good one Marshall
