Makes you Stop and Think

This is interesting. Makes you stop and think!!

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I Can't look that old?
Here is a little story about that:
My name is Alice Smith and 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 in my High School class some 30 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 Morgan Park High School. "Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang," he gleamed with pride. "When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered 1960. "Why do you ask?" "You were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely.
Then that ugly, bald, wrinkled, fat, decrepit old man asked,
"What did you teach?"'
