Were you in my class??

Sent to me this morning... and too close for comfort.........

Were you in my class??

Have you been guilty of looking at others your own age and
thinking. Surely I cannot look that old? You may enjoy this short
story.

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a
new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name
had been in my high school class some 30 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 had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school.

"Yes," he replied.

"When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1971. Why?"

"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely, and then the son of a b**ch asked, "What did you teach?"
