The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 05, 2021

I met a high school classmate. Once he was long haired, bearded and Anarchist, today is completely bald and a broker.

It seems that all my high school classmates are nothing but a bunch of old farts. I don’t get it…….

I have a better idea!! Send them a note saying that you have died, and that you regret that you won’t be able to attend!! And it will only “cost” you the price of a postage stamp!!

/SHNARK/

I wonder if Gregg’s wife thinks that’s a good idea?

It’s good to see that Brutus has a friend outside of work and Uncle Ted.

I wouldn’t bother going.

i’d hire a stand-in – nobody’d know the difference…

or replace himself with a robotic look alike. :D

He has just enough time to buy a spiffy suit.

Well he already got rid of the gray at least.

My 60th is coming up. I like all of the folks I went to school with and still communicate with several.

Wise advice, from Brutus the sage, as an immediate solution to his friend’s dilemma, but, alas, not very practical. It will just have to be a go as you are party…..

32 in my 1963 graduating class. Never went to any reunions. 8 living today and I see none of them until a funeral. I might skip mine. Disappoint a few.

Brutus would never attempt to con his classmates. What you see is what you get. Old soul and pure soul. A Good man Brutus. Hip Hip Hooray!

I say, if one has to go at all, gain 12 pounds and own it. His friends (like Brutus) won’t care, those who were merely acquaintances wouldn’t even notice.

Sounds like Gregg might be a transsexual and assigned female at birth.

To look at him you wouldn’t think he would need a facade.

Gregg should just get the suit and have his teeth bleached. Th extra weight, gray hair and glasses will just make him look more distinguished and successful.

I married a woman 24 years older than I. I was the “trophy husband” at her 50th high school reunion. Some people say marrying a young woman makes you feel younger but my experience was that it works better with an older woman. :)

The only thing that’s going to take time is losing the 12 lbs. Otherwise, he’s good to go.

Hey Gregg, see if you can find Bobby Wheeler’s agent. Bobby did a great job at Louie DePalma’s reunion.

I went, but only old people showed up.

Intentionally, I have never been to any high school reunion. I hated the bastards then, why would I ever want to see them again?r

I’ve at least got 3 weeks.

I never finished high school but I got my GED the same year my son graduated from high school. ;-)
