Hi all,

This bit of silliness came to me today and made me smile. I hope it brightens your day, as well.

As always, all feedback is much appreciated.

Joy,
Lynn

How funny! Thanks for the chuckle! I hope your muse gives you more silly little fics.

Do you think MOD can help me? I am trying to disguise 67 years of wrinkles, age spots and general signs of aging. Glasses seem to work for my friend, CK....

Thanks for the laugh, Lynn! Very cute

Btw: so good to see you writing

Hahaha, cute! Clark's optometrist going off the reservation a little. Great bit of fun to start my morning right.

I've got my own prescription, but I wouldn't mind a job.

Good to see you back Lynn!

Lynn, this cracked me up! So, I guess villains and superheroes just stare awkwardly at one another in the waiting room or do they have Betty Sue scheduling them apart from one another?

Hi Lynn!

That was a cute one! I do think you might have forgotten one: the fake glasses meant to make you look more distinguished/smarter on television

Michael

LOL very cute!!

Thank you all for your feedback. I'm glad that what I found funny in my head others found funny onscreen, as well.

DC, thank you for the wish for more funny ficlets. I, too, hope my muse obliges.

SupesFan, wear those wrinkles, etc. as trophies of all you have experienced in life. (That's what I do.) Save the "big glasses guns" for the stuff that really matters.

Folc4evernaday, I love the visual that conjures up. Perhaps there are separate entrances for the different clientele? Each location must be its own little neutral zone; there's an unspoken agreement that no one will try to take down anyone else within a certain perimeter of each one.

DM, You mean the ones that every bookish woman wears until the last third of the movie, when she takes them off and suddenly becomes a knockout?

jackiek Thanks. I'm glad the story brightened your day.

NK and MouseRocks, thank you for the welcome back. Had it really been that long since I had posted a story? I guess it had. I have another story waiting to post later this month -- the story I wrote for the fund-raiser last June and that I had promised I would not post here for a full year.

Hi Lynn,

Nah, there's actually fake glasses that are worn by politicians once they become important enough to be in the public eye, because that makes them look smarter, more competent, etc when they're on TV. I tried to find the specific incident that I was thinking about, but aside from articles about fake glasses being commonplace at least in the previous decade, I couldn't find it

Oh, and didn't Cat wear them in Illusions of Grandeur? She *could* have been wearing contacts the rest of the time, but somehow I'd doubt that story

Michael

What a world we live in... Some people are willing to stick things in their eyes or even undergo surgery to avoid wearing glasses, while others wear glasses when they don't even need to do so.

The glass grass is always greener...?

Joy,
Lynn

Love this commercial!

I've been needing to get my eyes checked, I'll have to see if I can find a local MOD franchise if I turn out to need glasses

Just hoping that MOD didn't buy ad space on The Daily Planet... If Lois ever read it, it could giver her a few ideas!

Morgana, thank you for leaving feedback. You are always so good with doing so, and it really does brighten authors' days to see such posts.

Endelda, you and me both! (Well, actually, I already have glasses, but it is about time for the annual checkup...) Just make sure to avoid the supervillain entrance.

Millefeuilles, now there's a thought. Or, in a related plot bunny, suppose a supervillain were "outed" in a similar manner; could they sue? On what grounds? Loss of livelihood? Mental anguish? It seems to me that they would have far more of a case than, say, Calvin Dregg from WWW. And if they did sue, I wonder if MOD could call a certain superhero to the stand as a witness? Of course, the very act of subpoena-ing Superman might well strengthen the plaintiff's case.

Joy,
Lynn

What a delightful and funny ad!

Love that idea of your related plot bunny!

And could the plaintiff sue under violation of HIPPA law and confidentiality? It was signed into law in 1996 in the U.S., but certainly could have taken effect during any year in Metropolis.

Brilliant!

I don't know how well-known HIPAA is outside the US, so in case anyone is scratching their head over your post: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act stipulates, inter alia, that except for certain specified circumstances, a patient's medical information must be kept private.
