Observant

I (being Carolanne) just couldn't let this one past. I don't know if anyone does bother to come and read here - I mean, it's only been 3 months but here goes......

Russell and Carolanne went out for dinner to celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary. After dinner, we walked to KFC to pick up dinner for our dear son Nathan. We were passing the shops and noted that Sports Power was between the Pizza place and the One Stop Shop. We tried to remember what was there before.....

Call us unobservant but even the lady serving us at the restaurant could not remember what it had been before Sports Power. As we walked, a man approached us. On the front of his shirt was a sign that said, "Visually Impaired". Russell went up to the man and said, "Excuse me but do you know what ................." and then he noticed the sign. His voice trailed off and he stumbled over an apology.

Russell decided not to ask anyone else what the store "had been". In his defence, he commented that the man did not have a Seeing Eye dog, nor glasses, nor a walking stick. And how was he supposed to notice a sign that said, "Visually Impaired"???
