A Vist to the Eye Doctor

When Mr. Perry realized he was having trouble reading road signs, he knew it was time to visit the eye doctor and get his first pair of glasses. Seating him in front of the eye chart, the Dr. instructed the patient to cover one eye with his hand. But despite the doctor's repeated instructions, Mr. Perry seemed incapable of anything more than a saluting motion.

Finally the doctor lost all patience. Making a mask out of a brown paper bag and cutting a hole for one eye, he put it over the man's head. "How does that feel, Mr. Perry?" he asked.

After a little pause, Mr. Perry answered, "The fit is fine, doctor. But I was hoping for something a little more stylish, maybe something in a tortoiseshell frame."
