High School Crush?

I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.  I noticed his DDS diploma on the wall, 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 was way too old to have been my classmate.

 
After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Northmont high school. 
 
"Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a thunderbolt," he said gleaming 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, the ugly, old, bald, wrinkle-faced, fat, gray-haired, decrepit fool asked, "What did you teach?"  Baring teeth smile  
 

Dead man walking!

  2. LoL Cat! Funny how our crushes change when we get older. Rick jokes about the older woman fantasy of his youth no longer holds much appeal lol

  5. This made me laugh out loud. Not sure he'd be able to walk had I been the patient.
