The driver replied, ‘No, I was just following my GPS!’ Everyone laughed so hard tears were prescribed for free.

2. At Broberg Eye Care, every day after lunch, someone discovers a mysterious package left on the reception desk. No note, no return address—just a small box wrapped in brown paper and twine.

Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.’

3. At Broberg Eye Care, every week around sunset, patients start noticing strange reflections in their new glasses—like tiny stars dancing on the lenses. One day, a delivery driver came in complaining that his new glasses made him look like he was driving a race car.
