The tattooist trained all his life for this one moment.

Once there was a young man with a wooden eye.
Now, he’s very self conscious of his eye. Every year, the annual village dance comes around, and every year, he stands off to the side, feeling sorry for himself.

This year was no different. As he’s standing there, all melancholy, he spots a young lady with a wooden leg. She too is standing aside and looking sad.

The young man thinks, “Now, I know I’m no prince charming, but I bet if I ask that lady for a dance, she’ll say yes.” So he works up his courage, puts on a brave face, and walks over to her.

“Pardon me ma’am, but w-w-would you dance with me??”

Surprised, she exclaimed, “ohh, would I? Would I!”

“Nevermind then, peg leg! PEG LEG!!”

I disagree. It’s a decent depiction of a generic eye, but it’s poor facsimile of the client’s eye. The iris in the tattoo appears larger and lighter than the client’s other eye. If the customer is happy, who am I to judge? But as a great work of Spanish art, I’d rate it only slightly above than this doozy from a decade ago:

I remember that piece of art…

Dude’s 80, doesn’t matter. I’d eye patch it, pirate style.

Yes ago, I had a neighbor who on a whim would carry a prosthetic eye in his pocket when going to a bar.

With girls within ear shot, he would say he had something in his eye and “remove” his fake eye.

He would then wash it off in a glass of beer and pretend to place it back in his eye socket. Blink a few times and say all is good now with the girls staring at his face to compare the eyes.

A student in my high school had a glass eye...While we were all reading in Junior English class one day, he took his eye out and laid it on his desk...

A girl saw it and screamed out real loud...The teacher came over and jumped all over Tommy, asking what he thought he was doing...

He kinda grinned and said his eye was tired from so much reading, he thought he’d let it rest...

IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Such a funny movie, and so underrated. A shame it’s probably the last of the great service comedies, since the real service is becoming a woke disaster — funny, but not in a good way.

There was a teacher in my junior high skool with a glass eye. He would get up really close to you and stare at you with the fake eye, and he would move his real eye rapidly from side to side. It was really freaky.

The kids universally hated him, and he only lasted one year.
