AGEING

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 DOCTOR. I NOTICED HIS MEDICAL DIPLOMA,

WHICH BORE HIS FULL NAME.

SUDDENLY, I REMEMBERED A TALL, HANDSOME, DARK

HAIRED BOY WITH THE SAME NAME HAD BEEN IN MY

SECONDARY SCHOOL CLASS SOME 40-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 FAR TOO OLD TO HAVE BEEN MY

CLASSMATE. AFTER HE EXAMINED ME, I ASKED

HIM IF HE HAD ATTENDED MORGAN PARK SECONDARY SCHOOL .

'YES, YES I DID. I'M A MORGANNER! 'HE BEAMED WITH PRIDE.

'WHEN DID YOU LEAVE TO GO TO COLLEGE?' I ASKED

HE ANSWERED, IN 1967. WHY DO YOU ASK?

'YOU WERE IN MY CLASS!' I EXCLAIMED.

HE LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY.

THEN THE UGLY,

OLD,

BALD,

WRINKLED,

FAT ARSED,

GREY HAIRED,

DECREPIT,

FUCKER ASKED..

'WHAT SUBJECT DID YOU TEACH '
