Show us your glasses.
I don't wear glasses. Well, I kind of do - I wear some of those reading glasses, but only sometimes. Mostly when no one is watching me. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor to have Harold, my sty at the time, checked and they had to dilate my eyes. When I was leaving, they said "Would you like some glasses?" and at first I was thinking I didn't need any, but then the word "FREE" came to the surface, so I said "Oh, of course!" I was thinking Ray Bans and Men in Black, and all kinds of fun stuff and so forth. Instead, she pulls out what could have been a wad of bills, but was actually a wad o' sunglasses. She pulled one "off" of the roll and handed it to me. SWEET!
Not quite the Will Smith look I was going for, but I'm all set now for the next solar eclipse. Plus, they store easily because you just roll them up...
