SURELY I CANT LOOK THAT OLD

SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD

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 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 MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL .

'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MUSTANG! ' 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 BITCH ASKED....


'WHAT DID YOU TEACH?

Re: SURELY I CAN'T LOOK THAT OLD

This one really let the air out of me when it happened.

One day I had a very young good looking girl come to the office and ask for an application for work. I gave it to here and explained the job requirements and expectations. Now the job she was applying for was a very physical demanding job with most skills learned OTJ. She took it and smiled and off she went. I really never expected to see her return with the application. Well about a week later she returned and I was not behind the counter but in the back room working on some other stuff. So as she spoke to other gentleman behind the counter, and I could hear the whole conversation, she stated that she had picked up the application from "the older, grayed haired guy, chubby guy, with glasses" last week. This was a really shocker for me, I had never heard myself described that way by such a youngster.
I was only 45 years old and boy was that a blow to my ego and all the guys in the office never let me live it down that I was the old man in the work place.
Now I'm 54 years old and can look back smile and laugh what happened.


Still old, gray, chubby and wearing glasses, but smarter now that I'm swinging a metal detector.

Never did come back for any other follow up interviews. I don't know if she knew she had stuck her foot in her mouth or not, but I would have if she had really wanted the work.
