My Nan used to take us to a big theatre to watch a Christmas Panto every year. In front of every seat, there were Binoculars attached, and you had to pay to release them, to get a better view of the performance.
Before the very 1st performance began, my Nan caught me starng at people in the audience through these binoculars.
When asked what I was doing, I replied I'm getting my looks-worth before they blow up!
Little did I know that they weren't on a timer-device!
