your mixing being a perv with being old.
did the penny not drop when yo became a teacher you were already on the other side of the looking glass.
your only really old when you realize some of those mammies are former pupils

When walking down the hall at the University and all the kids stop talking and ask if I am their instructor ::) .

Same day, different class (psych212) kid in front of me says " wow you answered a lot of those questions, I cruised by with a C last semester (psych 101) and don't remember all of that info, what did you get in Psych 101 last semester?" My answer I received an A but that was 19 years ago.  Kid looks perplexed then goes "cool, I wasn't even born then, must have been a different teacher"

Your body sounds like microwave popcorn when you get out of bed in the morning.

when you are in a bar/nite club and your first priority is to find a table with seats rather than get shots or go to the bar.


Then when you get said seats, you would rather "chair dance" than go to the dancefloor.

If you think thats bad, lad i know was playing a reserve match couple of years ago, 16/17 at the time. An oul hand from the other team comes up to him at the end and says hello, making eye contact with him. Lad looks at him puzzled, wondering did he know him or not.
"You not remember me from school??",
lad replies "nah, I think you've got the wrong person"
"Of course ye do, sure we went to school together! your Dwyer's brother aren't ya"
"eh no.. I'm his son".
Dwyer and his brother being well into their 50s  :D
