Q: How does a pirate look at forty?
A: Through reading glasses.
Yes, I just bought a pair today, after one too many situations with books where my arms weren't long enough and/or the text was too small.

If you're anything like me, Eric, you'll repeatedly...
a) Forget to bring them out with you.
b) Lose them.
c) Break them.
