(General talk about) jokes and humour

Like me, have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking that surely you can't look that old? Here's a joke I read yesterday that made me laugh:

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his diploma, which had 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 thirty-odd years before. Could he be the same guy who I'd 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 way too old to have been my classmate.

After he'd examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.

"Yes. Yes, I did," he gleamed with pride.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1967. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat, grey-haired man asked, "What did you teach?"
