Short Sighted !

A guy goes into an optician's and says " I'd like some glasses please, I think I'm short sighted".
The optician (having an off day) takes the man outside and pointing upwards says, " See that round yellow thing up there"? "Yes" the chap replies. "Well that's called the sun, it's 93 million miles away". "How far do you want to see"?
