I have a pair of glasses in every room. I have glasses for watching TV, glasses for reading mail while standing in front of the recycle bin in the kitchen, glasses for reading a book while in bed, glasses for the computer, glasses for mowing the lawn.
So I get in the habit of taking off my glasses when I leave a room so they are there when I come back to use the room.
There was some TV show I quit watching (it was about some guy who had to become POTUS because everyone in line died) because the lead kept whipping off his glasses anytime he had to say something important. Those things would never sit straight on his face after that kind of abuse IRL.

And he drank what was in the glass. It always makes everything he says seem profound.

Nah, he just remembered that he usually cleans his glasses every Thursday. She had just reminded him it’s both Thursday and Leap Day.

Reminds me of the time on the Mary Tyler MooreShow when Ted Knight read the teleprompter that said “take off glasses, look concerned”

They probably just need a cleaning or he’s trying to remember something he was supposed to do.

He took off his glasses so he could hear better.

Did you ever notice that profound and confound are not opposites? Is that profound?

Probably something like “Oh there’s my glasses”.
