      No one likes a joke more than I do except maybe my wife, and some of her friends. . .
      . . . Oh and Captain Johnson.

      It doesn't have laughter on the soundtrack because it's from one of two shows the Pythons filmed in Germany for German TV, called "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus." Both were shot on film and on location (this sketch was filmed in a genuine optometrist's shop in Munich), whereas most of the Flying Circus was shot on video in front of a studio audience. This sketch was recycled from "At Last the 1948 Show" (actually from 1967) and the original version had Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor instead of Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

Everytime I would go to their clinic (I needed glasses and my mother went for her teeth) there would be so much confusion :P

    I wear glasses and am practically blind without them. If someone talks to me and expects a more complex answer than yes or no, I have to put my glasses on to get my bearings. I'm only 42, lol but I've been doing it since college. If I don't have my glasses on or contacts in, there's no guarantee I heard you properly or retained any information. I'm a walking skit..

    If I pointed out that this customer seems to be the only person in the store with no discernible physical problems I would probably be ruining the funniest part, so I'll just keep it to myself.
    But seriously, is it wrong that I get so much enjoyment out of watching Michael Palin be blind? Seeing the other guys blind and/or deaf ain't half bad either. What the hell is wrong with me?

    I'd just like to point out that you needn't worry as I wear both hearing aids AND contact lenses (or sometimes glasses). I'm 21 and I have been and will be wearing these for my entire life. The truth is, not only am I not offended and find this amusing, but I'm actually really pleased that they brought up the concept of a hearing aid in the first place. It raises awareness and, best of all, it gives me the chance to laugh at my own condition.

    For the deaf folks:
    Customer: Good evening, I'm interested in buying a hearing aid.
    Mr Rogers: I'm sorry?
    Customer: I'm interested in buying a hearing aid.
    Mr Rogers: I didn't quite catch it.
    Customer: I want to buy a hearing aid!
    Mr Rogers: Ah, um... Hang on just a moment, sir, I'll switch the radio off. Ah, that's better. Now, what was it again?
    Customer: What?
    Mr Rogers: What was it again?!
    Customer: I can't hear!
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Customer: The radio is too loud!
    Mr Rogers: Yes, it's very nice, isn't it?
    Customer: I'm sorry, I couldn't hear. The radio was too loud.
    Mr Rogers: Ah... Pardon? Look, I'm sorry, I don't think my hearind aid is working properly. I've only had it a couple of days. Hang on... Yes, there we are. It's working now.
    Customer: Is it good?
    Mr Rogers: About fourteen pounds.
    Customer, Err... yes, but is it good?
    Mr Rogers: No no, it fits in the pocket here.
    Customer: Can you hear me?
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Customer: Can you hear me?!
    Mr Rogers: Ooh! Contact lenses?
    Customer: What?
    Mr Rogers: You want contact lenses?
    Customer: No!
    Mr Rogers: Oh well, I'll get Dr Wearing then. He does the contact lenses. I only do the hearing aids.
    Dr Wearing: Ah, good morning sir, you want some contact lenses, do you?
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Dr Wearing: You want some contact lenses, do you?!
    Mr Rogers: I can't hear what you're saying, Dr Wearing.
    Dr Wearing: I think you need a hearing aid, not contact lenses.
    Customer: No, I want the hearing aid.
    Dr Wearing: Who said that? Is there someone else in here?
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Dr Wearing: I think there is someone else in here.
    Customer: Yes, it's me. Here!
    Dr Wearing: Ah! You wanted the contact lenses, did you?
    Customer: No, I want a hearing aid.
    Dr Wearing: Ah, well, Mr Rogers will look after you. Someone to see you, Mr Rogers! He'll be down in a minute. Now, you wanted the contact lenses, did you, sir? Would you come this way, please.
    Mr Rogers: Ah... uh... what?
    Dr Wearing: This way please!
    Mr Rogers: I... I don't understand, Dr Wearing.
    Dr Wearing: Just in here.......... Why didn't you say you were Rogers?! You know my lenses play me up sometimes!
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Dr Wearing: Ah, I do apologise most sincerely for the inconvenience, sir. Now, you wanted the contact lenses, did you?
    Customer: No, I wanted a hearing aid!
    Dr Wearing: Mr Rogers will be with you, sir. I'm dealing with this gentleman here. Now, if you'd like to come this way, sir, we will try the contact lenses. Come up, sir.
    Customer: Now, Dr Rogers, I want a hearing aid.
    Mr Rogers: Pardon? I'm sorry, look, I'm worried about Dr Wearing. I think he thinks he's with someone.
    Dr Wearing in the distance: Hello? Hello?!
    Customer: Well, had you better go and tell him?
    Mr Rogers: No no, I'd better go and tell him.... Uh... Dr Wearing?
    Dr Wearing: Ah! There you are! I thought I'd lost you.
    Mr Rogers: No no, Dr Wearing, you're not with anybody.
    Dr Wearing: Who? Well, who's that talking to me then? Come on, let me see this. Sit down.
    Mr Rogers: What?
    Dr Wearing: Why didn't you say you were Rogers?!
    Mr Rogers: Uh, about quarter to six.
    Dr Wearing: Ah, sorry about that. Now, you wanted the contact lenses, did you?
    Customer: No, I wanted a hearing aid!
    Dr Wearing: Ah... Mhm... So, you are the gentleman who wanted the contact lenses?
    Customer: No, I wanted a hearing aid!
    Dr Wearing: Ah, Mr Rogers! Two gentlemen here would like hearing aids!
    Mr Rogers: What? Um... I can't hear you Dr Wearing! I think it must be my hearing aid. Hang on a moment! Aaaah! It's so loud it hurts! Oh, that's better... Wait a moment... I knocked my contacts out...
    Dissatisfied customer: I've come to complain about my contact lenses!
    Dr Wearing: What?
    Dissatisfied customer: I've come to complain about my contact lenses. They're terrible! They've ruined my eyesight!
    Dr Wearing: But I haven't given you any!
    Dissatisfied customer: You liar!
    Dr Wearing: What?
    Dissatisfied customer: You swindler! You money grabbing quack, sir!
    Dr Wearing: Don't talk to me like that!
    Dissatisfied customer: I'll talk to you any way I wa-- oh! Fisticuffs! Right!
    Dr Wearing: Oh, if that's the way you want it! Ah! Too big for you, huh? Ah, break up my shop, would you? Oh! I've got him!
    Mr Rogers: Help! Help! I'm being attacked! Help me Dr Wearing! I'm being attacked!
    Dr Wearing: It's alright, Rogers, I've got him!
    Mr Rogers: Quick, I've got him! Grab his arm!
    Dr Wearing: I can't! He's got me round the waist! Nevermind, get him to the door! We'll throw him out!
    Mr Rogers: OK, let's throw him out!
    Dr Wearing: Attack Mr Rogers, would you?! Well, we're more than a match for you!
    Mr Rogers: Help! He's got me by the throat!
    Dr wearing: It's alright, I've got him by the throat!
    Mr Rogers: We're by the door!
    Dr Wearing: Let's throw him out! 1... 2... 3... ugh!
    Customer: You should see them when they've had a couple of drinks! Goodnight folks, just a fairy tale.
