An older couple were planning an evening's tv and prepared everything early. They settled down, switched on, then found the tv picture terribly blurred and fuzzy.
They called the repair man, who came speedily, took the back off the set, adjusted it, cleaned it, switched it on and looked at a perfect picture. "There you are!" he said.
"It's no better!" declared the couple. The repair man thoughtfully looked at the couple.
"I see what's wrong," he cried, "the tv is OK, but you have each others glasses on!!"
The doctor in his surgery said goodbye to his patient, went over to the door, opened it and called "next please".
A man crawled in flat on his stomach. The doctor looked down.
"Good morning, Mr Smith," he said, "how's the vertigo today?"
