Splutter!

So the Gorse Fox has decided it is time for some new spectacles. He has visited the normal purveyors of lenses & frames to compare and contrast.

In the first shop they were helpful, but the frames were exorbitantly priced.

In the second shop they were helpful, had more sensible prices, but the lenses were not cheap!

In the third shop the assistant sidled up to the Gorse Fox

"Can I help you?" she purred

"The Gorse Fox is looking for some new glasses, and he would like something like these" he said, pointing at a rather nice pair.

"Oh, they're on special offer" she said "buy one pair, get another pair free. But we do have another offering. Are you over sixty?"

Crestfallen the Gorse Fox replied "No, but I shall return when I am"

It is evident that the few flecks of rather distinguished grey in the Gorse Fox's hair have given the wrong impression. Either that or it the fact that they have all joined up to cover those areas that still have hair.
