Apparently this constitues IMPORTANT eye care information

Apr 28, 2006
Greatest Hits, Photos, Rants

I got a letter from Optical Express this morning with the word “IMPORTANT” on the envelope. I opened it only to be greeted by this leaflet:

The leaflet bears the image of three people on the cover, with the caption "Optical Express: The Dental Clinic"

So this was the important information that relates so very closely to my eyesight. And check out that dude in the middle, did someone forget to tell him that the 80s finished seventeen years ago?

A boy maybe in his late teens smiles out of the photo, apparently blissfully unaware of the unspeakable birds-nest of peroxide blonde hair that graces the top of his head.

Thanks Optical Express, really helpful information there!

    Are you certain he’s not in drag and supposed to be their mother or something? He looks to be wearing lipstick, that could be a black frock, and the necklace positively screams matron.

    Not quite the response I was expecting…

    Yes, well then, there you have it, wot?

    “No. 3. The larch.”

    And there you have me completely stumped as to what you can possibly mean :)

    “Shirley, you jest?”

    Really? No. Huh?

    Actually, if you wouldn’t mind, could you answer a somewhat silly question? What do people in your age group think about the Pythons? Old & stale, still amusing in bits, what? I watched them quite a bit growing up in the States.

    Never have outgrown the adverse effects, I fear….

    Monty Python is, and ever shall be, comic genius in its purest form.

    Sure, some bits might not be as funny as other bits, but they’re generally regarded as amazing by all, and venerable by some.

    That is reassuring. There is hope for our world yet.

    (Personally, I can never utter the words “Intercourse the penguin!” without having to suppress a shudder of pure joy. Why I should have recourse to frequent use of this line is a topic for another time….)
