There's this young man who lost his eye in an unfortunate BB gun accident at the age of 11.
As he turns 16 he realizes that's he is self conscious of his eye patch and its affecting his ability to get a girlfriend. And he goes to the doctor ahead of the big school dance.
So he and his doctor believe his skull has stopped growing and he is now the perfect candidate for a fake eye.
Problem is that this young man comes from a hard working moderately low income family and he knows that it's going to take all of the families Christmas money.
So the eye doctor first presents the finest of eyeballs, undetectable imitation fir a lofty price of $10,000. And the boy painful has to decline.
The doctor offers a second option.. a glass eye that the doctor felt would be very nice alternative. When he heard the eye would cost $3000, he again painfully declined.
The doctor finally pulled out a wooden box from his desk, and inside were very finely sand papered and polished wooden eyeballs. And the doctor told him he could perfectly match the paint color if his eye, paint it up and have it ready in 1 hr. When he heard the price of $350, he knew that Xmas was saved.
On the night of the school dance, he noticed a homely looking girl sitting alone. When he started talking with his buddies about her, he found out about her hairlip. And his friends convinced him to give it a shot.
He approaches her and he asks.. "would you like to dance"?
She said excitedly "would I, would I".
And you know what he said back to her...?
"Hairlip, Hairlip"
