Coque - to make you smile

[Doodle]

I know that health issues are not to be laughed at but I can tell you that this has done me a power of good.

I had to have emergency surgery on my eye on friday due to a detachment and a hole in the retina. Yesterday I had to get all the gubbins from the pharmacy wearing my coque as supplied by the hospital. How do you keep a straight face when the pharmacy asks you in front of lots of people 'would you like a soft coque for the night'! I couldn't get out of the chemist fast enough as I thought I was going to choke on my laughter. Mrs KG

I would have laughed too, but if you had said,'non' what would they have offered you [;-)]??????

It might have been worse if it hadn't been a soft one he offered [6]

Hope all is mending well, holes in retinas are not to be snuffed at, and can be serious, but glad you managed to get a laugh out of it.

I'd have laughed too[:D]

I don't suppose you attempted to explain why the question was funny?

Hi Idun,

Guess they would think that I'm very happy with my hard coque day and night! Myself and friends are still having hysterics over it and all the puns you can guess - do you think this is where the term 'cockeyed' came from? I'm sure Mr Izzard could make something out of this. Mrs KG
