Take the glasses, "fold" them in half, put them in your pocket and say "Thank you!" Yes, that's what I would have done because I've thought about it many times after something that happened about 10 years ago.

Was working a VBoys game. I'm at C, L calls a foul. A deputy leaning against the wall behind him took off his glasses and offered them to my partner. Of course, my partner had his back to him but I saw it.

During the ensuing timeout out, I walked over to the deputy and asked him, "Are you here to provide security or act like the rest of these idiots?" No reply but he stared at me the rest of the half.

The next day, our booking agent spoke with the Sheriff, who used to be an official. I've never seen that deputy work another game.
