MONTREAL — Panic struck a cafe in Montreal’s NDG last week when a man donned his friend’s glasses for a one-time experiment. Witnesses report that once the glasses were secure on his face, the man, James, exclaimed, “Oh, wow! These are so messed up!” The man then compared the glasses to a kaleidoscope before calling over his friend, Steven Doe to take a look.
Cafe barista Penny said of the incident: “The second guy grabbed the glasses and yelled ‘How do you even see in these?! They’re so thick!’ ”
A patron of the cafe said that “James” and Doe’s laughter was distracting from his poetry. “They kept saying things like ‘Why don’t you get laser?’ and ‘At least you look smart!’ It was annoying.”
The owner of the glasses, Greg, reportedly stared blankly as “James” and Steve asked him how many fingers were held in front of his face. The answer? None. They had held up a mug.
At press time, Steven and James were asking their friend Paul if they could try out his wheelchair.
