Mr Magoo

Apparently I need glasses. This has been pointed out to me by various people over the last 10 years, but I am still living in denial.
A couple of months ago I misread the sign outside Burger King and thought that they were selling a 4 cheese Anus Burger. To be honest though, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some anus in most beefburgers.
The other problem is failing to recognise people, even if they are waving frantically at me from 2 yards away. This however I put down to the fact that I am normally drunk.
Quite often I will wave at complete strangers certain that the blurred image of their face is that of somebody I know - at least I am getting to meet new people that way.
Sure, glasses make some people look funky or intellectual. But they make me look old and blind - a look that I am really not going for.
I will carry on for now squinting for now, safe in the knowledge that my unframed face looks more youthful and less geeky (well, that's what I am going to keep telling myself)!
