Apply a couple of coats of SHARPO to the front surface of your lens. Hell, open the camera right before you expose the shot and apply a swab or two of SHARPO to the film. Double Hell, let's go all the way: drink the stuff. Put it on your shoes. Dab some on your hair. Pour it on your roses. You'll feel better and younger. You will no longer care that your wife is capable of taking better pictures than you can. You will like yourself more. Your Attention Deficit Disorder and Chronic Stress Syndrome will disappear. Your children will talk to you again. Your dog will quit urinating on your shoes. Strangers will stop you on the street to hand you large wads of oddly coloured currency (or whatever is passing for money in the UK these days). You will never be stopped by a red light again. Potholes will be filled before your wheels. Your car will actually run (in any event, it will run if you are driving a non-British car -- miracles, after all, only go so far!) You will be able to finish the Times Cross-Word in less than five weeks and without cheating. You will be able to eat well and hearty and not gain weight. Your hair will turn brown or blonde or green or whatever it used to be. It will all grow back. You will look like a fifteen-year-old Adonis and will have the sagacity of a wise old owl. Women will chase, young women, beautiful young women. Your wife, if you share with her your SHARPO, will be able to fend them off, but only by the application of repeatedly hitting them with her umbrella. You will finally be popular. Guaranteed, son. :Money back. Says so on the can. They wouldn't lie, would they? TM and REG and all that legal stuff, as well.
