“I’m sorry, ma’am, but do you happen to have a robotic eye? No? How about mechanical eye parts?”
This was 30 seconds into my first eye exam in a decade. Apparantly my eye broke the machine!*
*(calcium deposits: I have ‘The Milky Way in there!’ was my last optometrist’s comment; this recent technician had no idea why the machine was completely freaking out readings-wise)
Ok, I have to ask…assuming you’re mobility-challenged, why on earth would people think it’d be any better to just not have them there at all? Or are you just in possession of a pair of comparatively long longs that look like they forgot to stop growing?
Either way…hope whoever asks that is joking
As to the rat thing, the ‘Do you realize that…’ about an obvious but unusual thing is just a funny/smartalecky/not-so-clever-apparantly way of starting a conversation about something which is never going to be got 'round to in any but the most clumsy way.
