Pirate Jokes
Number of jokes I heard (per day) about pirates over the past week: 8
Percentage of these jokes that were some varation of the line "We just need to get you a parrot": 92
Heck, even my eye doctor said that to me.
The whole thing is, of course, incredibly funny. A lot of people figured I was just wearing the patch to be cute, but I just patiently explained to each one that I had been tuning my friend's harp and one of the string's broke and whapped me in the eye, leaving it damaged. Or I had a crossbow accident. Or I was running with scissors. I think my favorite was that I sent it away for cleaning, because one person went "Oh, I didn't know you had a glass eye!"
People are fun. *grin*
Anyway, the point is that I can look at a computer again without going cross eyed, so my life is a lot better. My glasses make me look like a librarian, which wasn't quite the look I was going for, but whatever. I can see, and they aren't terribly heavy.
Life, like people, is fun.
