The benefits of being Nearsighted
So I'm riding home the other day, just before crossing a huge intersection, and a mammoth bee bounces off the lens of my glasses. phew (Well, it *looked* mammoth from real close up!) But it made me think -- what if my head had been tilted just a wee bit differently and the bee got trapped between the lens and my eye. I suppose such a thing can happen. Ouch! I guess if I didn't wear glasses, goggles would be something I'd be looking at. Scott |

The benefits of being Nearsighted
I submit that on or about Tue, 13 Sep 2005 10:49:12 -0500, the person
known to the court as Scott made a statement in Your Honour's bundle) to the following effect: So I'm riding home the other day, just before crossing a huge intersection, and a mammoth bee bounces off the lens of my glasses. phew (Well, it *looked* mammoth from real close up!) That's nothing. The arbor snapped on my power tool and threw the diamond cutting blade in my face. They were still washing pieces of polycarbonate out of my eye two hours later, but no long-term damage was done. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

You obviously have never removed your glasses and used your "bad" eye to examine something tiny from inches away instead of having to rummage around trying to find the magnifying glass.
