LOL, can you say, "Shoe Fetish?"




Today I visited a new eye doctor, hoping to get a different answer and remedy to my blindness issue than the one I've received from countless other eye doctors throughout the course of my life. I shop eye doctors the way other women shop, well, shoes.
When I presented my new doctor with my contact lens packages so that she would have my prescription, she promptly placed them on the desk between us. I give you that background information so you can visualize a little. In order to see said packages, she had to glance down to her right, i.e. in my direction; so, if she gestured towards them she, in effect, would be gesturing towards me.
So, new doctor entered the exam room and, after introducing herself, immediately glanced at my feet and commented on my shoes. Excited beyond belief (I was so happy to be wearing them, even happier that she noticed them), I explained that they were new and comfortable and that I had purchased them because I'm always on the lookout for shoes with a heel that are comfortable. I explained that they had taken me a great deal of time to find, and that they weren't returnable so not only was I happy that they were comfortable, I was pleased to receive a compliment from her. I started telling her how I had, sadly, just dropped off a whole shitload of my high-heeled shoes to Goodwill because, although I love them, I am clearly getting too old to wear them. Just as my eyes are deteriorating, so are my hips, back and legs. Blah blah blah, I continued talking until I realized that all of this was probably TMI and I stopped.
We got into the business of talking about my eyes.
Shortly thereafter, she gestured towards me and asked, "Do you wear them every day?"
I answered, "No, this is the first time I'm wearing them, but they are so comfortable I might be wearing them every day!"
She looked up at me and said, "I meant the contact lenses."
I don't know, I'm still laughing about this, does anyone else find this as funny as I do?
