Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely, I can't look that old?"
I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his qualification certificates which bore his full name.
Suddenly I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in my high school class some 45-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 way too old to have been my classmate.
Hmmmmm....or could he????
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he has attended Munruben High School. "Yes, yes I did." He gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
"In 1959. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, wrinkled, old bastard asked, "What did you teach?"
