Who's Old?

[Fred W]

This one's for some of the older guys being called out in the "Oldest Rider You Know" thread:

I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his dds diploma on the wall, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, jock with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago. You know... the guy that got all of the hot girls.


Could he be the same guy that i had envied so much, 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 in school.

After he examined my teeth, i asked him if he had attended Lexington High School.

'Yes. Yes, i did. I was a Minuteman!' he gleamed with pride..

'What year did you graduate?' i asked.

He answered, 'In 1975. Why do you ask?'

'Well, you were in my class!', I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely.

Then, that ugly,

old,

bald,

wrinkled faced,

fat-assed,

gray-haired,

decrepit

son-of-a-*****

asked,

'Really? What did you teach??

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Very good Fred. That one surprised me.

 

[TomInPA]

Funny! Until you've attended your 40th HS reunuion. Geeze those guys are old, and the "girls" have changed.

Hey Fred, is that for real?? I wouldn't pay that SOB for that visit....

 

[RichDoyle]

Hey, the dude is quick-witted. Give him some credit

 

[Fred W]

I think maybe you missed the point. He looked at me and thought that I couldn't have been his classmate cause I look to old...

Hey Fred, is that for real?? I wouldn't pay that SOB for that visit....

No, not for real, Petey. You know me... I'm way too young and handsome looking for this to happen to me.

 

[wheatonFJR]

Good story Fred.

I see the effects of age every time I look in the mirror...dammit.

I also like it when the girl that was so hot in HS, that everybody went gaga for...is easily bested by the girl you brought with you to the reunion.

In any case you could have corrected him and said: at least I'm not fat and bald...

I have a real story that was a kick in the teeth.

This Sept. I took two weeks off and the first week was a week with the wife be for I took off on a 3800 mile solo ride for the second week.

My father in law (95 Years old as 11/1) who lives in an assisted living place was complaining that he was having a hard time seeing his 19 inch TV. The wife asked me to help get a TV for him and set it up for him. So we went shopping and spent some of his money and got him a 50 inch flat screen, as I'm wheeling it in this old gale asks us "ARE YOU TWO MOVING IN?". We laugh it off but did she really mean that!!!!???????

Maybe she was really hoping to see some nice eye candy move in.

You'll know your old when you start going to Bingo nites to pick up chicks!

 

[garyahouse]

Ya got me thinkin' about gettin' old, which I really don't need to do, but I'm happy to say that the guys that laughed at me as a kid because I always looked younger than I was... aren't laughin' now. And since ya mentioned it, I didn't make my 40 year reunion this year... it's 1200 miles away and I'm busy teaching. Oh well. Maybe I'll make the 50 year reunion in 10 years.

A while back I visited the home of a friend of mine from High School (class of 1970) and College. He lives in the country and has a nice porch on his house. His wife's name is Janice. I had not seen them in several years.

As I walked up an attractive young lady was sitting on the porch. I recognized Janice at once. "Hi Janice" I said.

The attractive young lady looked at me funny. She wrinkled her brow.

"Mom's inside".

Years ago we had a tradition every 22 November of talking about where we were when we heard that President Kennedy was shot.

About 30 years ago a co-worker asked "who?", and then asked when it happened. We told him and he said "Wow, I wasn't even born."

About ten years ago, the same conversation was taking place - this time about when Reagan was shot. Wouldn't you know it? Another co-worker had to mention that he wasn't born when Reagan was shot.

Poor kids.

I remember when the Berlin Wall was built; I watched TV when Kennedy made his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech; watched Reagan give his "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" speech; and have stood in Berlin where the Wall once was, my mind reeling and my throat choked at the sense of history and the privilege of having lived through it.

I've stood in the ruins of Ephesus, climbed the Acropolis, walked next to the pyramids at Giza, and craned my neck looking at the ceiling in the Pantheon.

We've walked in the barracks and gas chambers of Nazi concentration camps; read line after line of names and dates on the walls of a Synagogue in the Ghetto; I've touched the bullet holes in buildings in Budapest - left when the Soviet tanks rolled through in 1956; walked the streets in Prague where Soviet tanks rolled in 1968; and traced the names of friends on the Wall in Washington D.C.

Go ahead, call me old.

Getting old is a privilege not given to all. Enjoy every breath!
