Happy Birthday!

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and Thinking, "Surely, I can't look that old".

Well, 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, who had been in my High 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, 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 1965, why do you ask?" "You were in my class!", I exclaimed. He looked at me closely.

Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat-ass, gray-haired, decrepit Son-of-a Bitch asked,

"What did you teach?" (Thanks to Cheryl (Davis) Staicoff for this beauty)

Happy Birthday to all our February Babes!
