    You might have phrased this a lot better by keeping your stupid mouth shut. Take that as general advice.

      My understanding is that the Dr. was referring to her glasses prescription, but the numbers he provided were misinterpreted as some sort of rating on her appearance (or perhaps basketball performance).

      He didn’t intend to cause that confusion, which is why he acknowledged that his choice of wording was not ideal. I hope that clears things up.

        Sir, I am well known to understand each and any joke. Immediately and at any time of night or day. If this is intended to be an insult to my intellectual capabilities, I demand satisfaction.

          But you see, my good fellow, you’ve shown nary a bit of proof for this supposed intellect. How could I, an internet user of honor and integrity, accept such a duel when I know not if my actions will be akin to bullying a simpleton?

      Just FYI, they’re indicating the glasses prescription in diopters. A -1.5 means minor correction to myopia by 1.5 diopters. Someone took the -1 and -1.5 as a hotness scale, but the guy is a sort of famous optometrist and was commenting on the lens correction factor, not hotness.

        Wearing -6.5 and -6 myself as well as a cat on my shoulder that keeps waving it’s tail before my eyes and considering that it’s almost 3am here, you might excuse that the joke hit in here with some delay…

          “I’m too tired to get the joke but I can still make an incredibly aggressive post attacking a stranger on the internet”

          Maybe someone else should be keeping their mouth shut…
