Thanks to Robert I have another joke for you.
BEEN GUILTY OF LOOKING AT OTHERS YOUR OWN AGE AND THINKING, SURELY I CAN’T LOOK THAT OLD?
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 FORTY-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.
“IN 1965”, HE ANSWERED, “WHY DO YOU ASK?”
‘YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!’ I EXCLAIMED.
HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY:
THEN…THE UGLY, OLD, BALD, WRINKLED, BIG-BOTTOMED, GREY HAIRED…
DECREPIT…
BASTARD ASKED . . .
‘WHAT SUBJECT DID YOU TEACH?’
They’re not talking about us, are they? Can’t be, surely! No way!!
