Am I Really 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're gonna love this one...

A woman was sitting in the waiting room for her first appointment with a new dentist when she noticed his diploma hanging on the wall. It bore his full name and she suddenly remembered a tall, handsome dark-haired boy with the same name. He had been in her high school class some 40-odd years before and she wondered, "Could he be the same guy she had a secret crush on way back then?" When she got into the treatment room she quickly discarded any such thought. This balding gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was much too old to have been her secret crush... or was he? After he examined her teeth she asked if he had attended Morgan Park High School. "Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang!" He said, gleaming with pride. "When did you graduate?" she asked. "1959. Why do you ask?" he answered. "Well, you were in my class!" she exclaimed. To which the ugly, old, wrinkled jerk asked, "So, what did you teach?"
