[stylist] Beauty...In the Eye of the Beholder

[Robert Newman]

I have a friend and when she received her last  new set of eyes, she took
one of the old eyes and had it made into a key chain. The husband carries it
with him; "His wife, now can keep an eye on him, no matter where he goes."

whoa Amy that's really cool!

no, the most I ever do is scrub my eyes with softsoap and water, along with
soaking.

I'd never heard of boiling your eyes!

a blind guy went to class, just in time for the test.  his neighbor was
late, pushed into the seat next to him, and was suddenly shocked to see his
eyes out.
when asked, the blind guy  explained, "when I got here, the prof first said
"I want all of you to keep your eyes on your tests!"

I too am self conscious of people seeing me clean my eyes, or having them
out.  .
