Mildly Interesting Story

I was walking through the woods just recently taking wildlife photos for my personal use when I came across two men carry binoculars. As I said ‘hello’ and passed them, one of them said to the other ‘why do people carry cameras when you have two eyes? Binoculars are much better’.

Well at the time I thought it was funny
