For that very reason, after I had my catarac surgery, one of the first things I did was have my drivers license changed to show I didn’t need glasses anymore!
True story. A colleague of my wife’s was flying from Detroit to Albuquerque. The TSA agent insisted that she had to have a passport to go to a foreign country. To the agent, Albuquerque was not in the United States; New Mexico was a foreign country. It became necessary to involve a supervisor.
This joke was old when I was a youngster. And I was a youngster when you had to read the comics in a printed newspaper. And the comics were in color only on Sundays. And it wasn’t that funny back then either.
I am a little concerned about this because I had my second cataract surgery and the doctor says my vision is good enough to pass the drivers eye test without glasses, but didn’t give me a note for the police officer.
I remember getting stopped and the cop used a flashlight to shine across my eyes to see the edge of my contacts. I still wear them but my license no longer has the requirement for corrective lenses on it for some reason.
It’s not so much that we don’t hire applicants with High IQ’s …it’s more they don’t apply in the first place….I am with Metro- Atlanta Police Department Precinct 3

This joke is as old as contact lenses.

That joke originated three days after the invention of contact lenses.

The fins on your car just make it look like it’s going faster. Or maybe it’s just the trail of blue smoke…

If Cosmo had said I wear contacts, there would have been no misunderstanding and of course no joke.
