    Canadian incident

    I had a customer who was riding his dog-sled and eating breakfast at the same time. After pulling out of the Tim Horton's sled-thru in North Pinetree, Ontario, he put his back bacon down to reach for the maple syrup, and that's when his glasses flew off his face and broke. His sledder's license prohibited him from sledding without glasses on so he was forced to put on his snow shoes to get to my store, which is located in the middle of a frozen lake.

    After I melted his beard with the frame blower, he said "my glasses broke, eh?"

    I said "have a seat, eh?"

    I tried to fix them but then I realized his lenses were made of ice so they melted. No charge.
