Old School
Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking,
surely i can't look that old? Well......
My name is alice smith and i was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his dental diploma, which bore his full name.
Suddenly, i remembered a tall, handsome, dark haired boy with the same name had been in my secondary 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, grey haired man with the deeply lined face was far too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, i asked him if he had attended morgan park secondary school .
'yes, yes i did. I'm a morganner! 'he beamed with pride.
'when did you leave to go to college?' i asked
he answered, ‘in 1965.. Why do you ask?’
'you were in my class!' i exclaimed.
He looked at me closely.
Then the ugly,
old,
bald,
wrinkled,
fat arsed,
grey haired,
decrepit,
bastard asked..
'what did you teach?'
