It appears I’m on an “old” kick, here lately. Don’t know why – just seem to be attracting “old” jokes right now. Maybe the Universe hears my knees popping when I get up and move around or my groan as Gravity grabs me and slams my ass onto Mother Earth each morning as I get out of bed.
Don’t know, but I sure have been feeling old. But feeling old and looking old are two different things. Speaking of…
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-assed,
gray-haired,
decrepit
son-of-a-bitch asked,“What subject DID YOU TEACH???”

Just a great blog which I have found by accident. Just thought I would add to the craziness with this joke about getting old:
"When your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot."

lol, I am feeling old a lot lately. I am 45, and there are a couple of commercials on TV now, offering guaranteed life insurance for "everyone aged 45-80" – I'm in the 45-80 range now… YIKES!
There is nothing bad for being old, Suzanne. Well.. Old is not a nice word. What if we call "mature" instead of old. It's refreshing isn't it? LOL.
Well we all have to experience getting old, whether we like it or not! hahaha
great funny post!
getting old is not so bad.
Haha, I love the story! I must say I sometimes get the same feeling, but luckely I've never gotten a comment like in the story! Must be awfull to hear that!
OK that’s funny.
I see people from high school all the time, now that I live back in the town I grew up in. I’m only here while I’m studying, but it’s funny how the dynamic has changed.
In high school you take everything so seriously and you think that if your crush ever finds out about you it’ll be the end of the world. I’ve seen some of the girls I used to like, and I’m glad I never got involved.
After school, you keep getting cooler, and everybody else just gets old.
