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 ALICE SMITH AND AS 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 WAS WAY TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED MY TEETH, I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED FAIRVIEW HIGH SCHOOL .

'YES. YES, I DID. I'M A BULLDOG,' HE GLEAMED WITH PRIDE.
'WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE?' I ASKED.

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-B???? ASKED,

'WHAT DID YOU TEACH ???

That was not funny.

Simlilar true story.

When we first started going to the our current church I met an older gentlement, lots of gray hair and a kid in college, with the same last name as a good friend (female) I had in college. I went to her wedding, she came to mine, we swapped Christmas cards for a good 20 years or so.

Anyway, when I found out he went to Texas A&M thought to ask if he knew her. I was expecting a 'Yes, she is my neice' or something. I thought he might be her dad, but I remembered her dad was not alive to be at her wedding and her brother gave her away.

Anyway, when he answered "Yes, she's my sister." I was shocked for second at how far apart in age they must have been, until I really thought about it that, yeah, he and I are probably no more than 4 years apart.
