A Personal story

This is a little story about something which happened to me this last Friday.
My wife and I went to a polka fest at the 4Aces Casino in Deadwood, South Dakota.

As we were driving to Deadwood, I mentioned to my wife I was going to leave my eye glasses in the car as they were drving me nuts. As we were walking into the casino I realized I was still wearing them. After we found seats, I put the glasses in my shirt pocket. Over the next half hour we danced a number of fast walzes and polkas. As we were leaving the floor after one set, I subconciously felt my shirt pocket and suddenly realized my glasses were no longer there. My wife and I searched the dance floor but did not see them anywhere. We went back to where we had been sitting and we began looking on the floor and around my chair, hoping we'd find them there. About a half dozen people became interested in what we were looking for. One of them asked, and when I told her I was looking for my glasses which had fallen out of my shirt pocket, she and four or five others began helping us look. After perhaps a minute, one of the women looked at me and exclaimed "you're wearing them. They are on your face". I felt the upper part of my face and sure enough, there were my glasses. We all had great laugh. Since they had been bothering me so much earlier, I don't know how I could have put them back on and not even noticed I had them on. I also wondered how a half dozen people could look at me and not see them. Anyway, I think the best kind of joke is one a person tells on themselves.
