I thought I'd start a posting on reunion musings...be nice, keep it clean!
Here's one I offer from Erma Bombeck:
“Never go to your high school reunion pregnant or they will think that is all you have done since you graduated.”
Others?

A friend of mine is responsible for alumni relations at his high-school alma mater.
ReplyDeleteLast fall, a member of the Class of 1986 returned the standard alumni questionnaire with this response:
Marital Status – Not good
Wife’s Name – Plaintiff
My wife and I were at my high school reunion. As I looked around, I noticed the other men in their expensive suits...and their bulging stomachs. Proud of the fact that I weighed just five pounds more than I did when I was in high school, the result of trying to beat a living out of a rocky hillside farm, I said to my wife, "I'm the only guy here who can still wear the suit he wore when he graduated."
ReplyDeleteShe glanced at the well-dressed crowd, then back at me, and said, "You're the only one who has to."
Top Reasons Why You May NOT Want To Go To Your 25th Class Reunion --
ReplyDelete24) Things are more like they are today than they ever were before.
23) You don't want them to know you married the guy 'Most Likely To Change Jobs For A Career'
22) The one that got away...
21) The one that didn't...
20) That Sophomore you stuck in the trash can is now doing reunion webpages
19) You'll get this compelling urge to smoke a cigarette -- and look around for teachers lurking in the bathrooms or just near the fence on Mackinaw
18) You KNOW someone's going to want to 'streak' ... and the resulting mental image will put you back into therapy for another 25 years
17) Computer Literate? Ha! You can't get WEB TV to work without a neighbor's kid, and forget about ever successfully programming the VCR
[00:00:00 00/00/99] . . . *LOL*
16) They're still talking about the Prom night party--and--you still wish you knew what they were saying
15) Platform shoes and bell bottoms ARE, in fact, acceptable to wear
14) You've lost your little sailor's hat
13) Maroon and Gold -- someone's going to wear them -- need we say more?
12) Driver's Ed memories. The school's insurance rates have never been the same...
11) Your children have volunteered to 'help' with the reunion, right after going to their reunion.
10) You still have some nasty unpaid library fines.
9) Remember that dorky guy with coke-bottle glasses who sat up front that you made fun of? ...He owns Microsoft
8) Its being catered by the gals from the cafeteria...and they've volunteered YOU to go get the food in one of those BIG plastic orange crates.
7) You're petrified by the promise of a mandatory Algebra exam between dinner and dessert.
6) Your 'first one' might be there...all of them...
5) Your Senior Prom date is STILL looking for you...and you can't bring weapons.
4) The 'other' person in your class was a real dork.
3) You don't like most of the people you remember, and you damn sure don't wanna see a bunch of over-weight, balding, sagging classmates dancing under a disco ball to some crap like "The Hustle".
2) You don't want people that know you married the girl voted 'Most Likely To Fester'.
1) You don't wanna have someone come up to you with a recent college dropout and say "Honey, why don't you spend the next 25 years with your real father!?!"
