Warning: What follows is possibly the biggest setup in history for the lamest joke. Proceed at your own risk.

Photo from 1970The guy pictured at right (hi, Dale!) stopped by our table at Romie's last night (fajitas are the Wednesday night special, doncha know?) and asked me about an English teacher I had in junior high (following up on a comment he left on this post).

On the drive home, after stopping for dessert at S$s, my wife asked me who he was, because she moved to Fort Stockton fairly late in her high school tenure and while she thought he looked familiar, couldn't quite place him. I said something to the effect that I would pull out a high school yearbook when we got home and she could see if she recognized him in his larval phase.

She, being of the razor sharp and quick wit, replied, "are you sure he wouldn't have been in his pupal stage?" Get it? "Pupal"? "Pupil"?

Ah, you just had to be there. And being a biology major might help.

It's precisely the kind of joke I adore!

That picture came out of your senior annual, my 10th grade year. I must have been all of 16. Contacts lenses have replaced the glasses from Omer D. ( I still have those frames)
I must say that I think I had the same affect/effect (whatever) on all of the girls at FSHS (he looks familiar, but I can't remember his name).

I apologized for disturbing your meal, and this is the thanks I get.
Dale.

Now who's on Freda Brown's hit list?

37 years later and seniors are STILL giving sophs a hard time. Go figure. Maybe you should offer to pay next time. ;-)

For the record, your sophomore photo was a lot less goofy than mine.

I've been know to make fish jokes just for the hallibut.

Whale, from my perch, it appears that you're sharking your duties and being a royal pain in the bass, however sturgeon-like the precision of those jokes may be. ;-)

[Ouch. I think I strained something.]

Strained?
The sole complaint I have is that reading it gave me a haddock.
Unless you have more coming down the pike, though, you'll be herring no more carping from me.
