At work today a very nice man came in who had just been scuba diving in one of our tanks. I chatted with him as I sold him our SCUBA DVD and he went on his way.
He came back just a few minutes later. He asked if there was any way I could get him back up to the SCUBA locker rooms (which were now locked because that was closed) because he left his glasses up there.
I glanced up at the glasses sitting on his head and then back into his eyes.
I asked if it was his goggles that he left in the changing room. "No." he replied, "They're just my glasses. I searched all my bags time after time but I must have just left them up there."
Again, I glanced at the glasses sitting on top of his head hoping he'd follow my eyes that were continually moving up there. I still wasn't sure he had another pair of glasses, and I really couldn't think of any way to let him know they were on his head without making at least one of us feel stupid. Finally (mostly because I truly had no clue how to get him back up to the locker rooms) I asked him if he was looking for the same pair of glasses that were on his head.
He looked confused for a second and then slowly moved his hand up to his head, rolled his eyes... and the rest is history.
And that's how I got my boss to like me. :)

Also, my verification word is "fat pies." Just thought I'd mention it.
You have had practice with telling people their lost glasses are on their head, haven't you?
