Anon..
Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely I can't look that old?" This one hurts! 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 40-odd 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 examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Lawton Senior Highschool. "Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a Wolverine." he gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1961. Why do you ask?" "You were in my class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, wrinkled son-of-a-gun asked, "What did you teach?"

Here's one for ya.
A few years back this old bald headed gent introduced himself to me.
I recognized the name and it got me to remembering back to when I was a teen. Then I said to him without thinking. "Yeah, I bought some 45 records
from your son many years ago".. ...At which time he replied,..................
"whata ya mean, my son?..............That was me!!!....

It wasn't that long ago when I was I always the youngest guy in the group but things change with time and I'm more often the oldest one these days. It's been years since I was the pup, so enjoy while you can YB.
