A look at the eye doctor...

I love observing people. My favorite today was my optometrist. I had an appointment with him today. I'd never met him before but now I'll always go back. He was the oddest character. But I loved him. He said everything twice. Like Jimmy "Two-times" from Good Fellas. And he said "yeah" and "right away" after everything he said twice.
"Ok now just look ahead, look ahead yeah. Right there at the big E, the big E, right away, ok".
And then he moved around in the dark with a limp, but he bumped into nothing. He would tell me, out loud, the next instrument he needed.
"Now for the special lens, special lens yeah. "Right away just look this way, look this way right away".
"And tell me what you see on that line, on that line yeah. Ok now what do we see, what do we see, right away yeah."
At the end of his exam, he told me I was odd.
"You're odd. You're near-sighted in your right eye yeah and far-sighted in your left eye, in your left eye yeah. Yeah you should have a killer headache, killer headache right away yeah."
I was so amused. My son was laughing. That's all for now.
