A Tragic Misunderstanding!

A Tragic Misunderstanding!

An old lady visiting the pantomime had the misfortune to forget her spectacles.

A kindly man seated next to her noticed her plight, and handing her his binoculars remarked: “Will you share my glasses?”

The old lady took them, hid them furtively beneath a handkerchief in her lap. Later, she surreptitiously raised the binoculars to her lips.

“What a cruel trick to play on an old woman,” she said. “There isn't a drop left in either of them!”
