Miss H and I both had an optical appointment this week.

The staff member who greeted us was not wearing glasses.

She asked the questions you might expect, including “Do either of us wear glasses?”

I replied, “I’m not sure about you because we’ve just met. But I don’t wear glasses.”

Her puzzled look was very amusing.

On the occasions I've been in hospital for an op or biopsy, I always think it's a bit patronising when nurses enter in the morning and say "how are WE feeling this morning".

I usually get a poke in the ribs from my wife.

Yep. Miss H was unimpressed.

I was then asked by a different employee “what brings you in today?”

I really wanted to say “a car”.
