Good news, bad news

Well I got my biennial eye check-up today. Good news, my vision hasn't gotten any worse since my last visit. Bad news, it's still pretty damn bad. "You don't wear contacts, do you?" the tech asked me referring to the power of the lenses needed to correct my vision. Ten minutes later. "Do you wear contacts?" the doctor asked. Damn it, why do you people keep asking that? "Oh I see that you have pretty small frames..." the doctor observed. You see, the prescribed lenses are that high powered that the thickness at the ends for large frames would be as thick as a soda can. I'm exaggerating but you get the idea. So I have no choice but to have small frames such as the kind that John Lennon use to wear.

Later on, my friend boasted, "Your eyes can't be as bad as mine... I'm legally blind without my glasses." After I show him my prescription (which I don't care to divulge right now), "Oh..., it is pretty bad."

Well considering that I'm a glass half full kind of person... Yeah right, it's still pretty damn bad!
