The Glasses of Intelligence

After an evening of watching tv and playing on the laptop I took my glasses of and headed off to bed, as soon as I entered the room Katie (my beautiful girlfriend), asked me where my glasses of intelligence had gone? That made me think - what is it about glasses that make people look clever when actually they only exist because of an eyesight flaw! Is it because they are connected with somebody clever who wore them or simply is it because they change you to fit in a stereotype? Who knows! I wear them so I can see and I'm not clever!
