Job

While stuffing mail boxes with my flier this morning, I notice a lady about sixty riding her bicycle into the same complex I was just going into. Suddenly a cat dashed across her path and she fell down trying to avoid it. 
I helped her up and collected her belongings for her. As I started to fill the post boxes suddenly the same lady appeared. 
She told me she was this apartment's manager and no posting was allowed.

Surprise reunion.

About thirty years ago I had a dental problem. I went to my friends clinic but he was out so his young assistant (a dark long haired beauty), put three stitches in my mouth. Last week I went to the same clinic and a heavy slow moving middle-aged women put on a pair of thick glasses. A smile came to her face and asked me if I remembered her. 
You probably know the rest of the story.

Students and I

In the summer I usually wear flips instead of shoes. I always take them off when I teach (why? I don't know.). Some of my students began taking off their shoes and socks in the class. I don't know if it is a joke or a show of support.
