Reminds me of the talk between the two ARMINUS brothers in the book I, CLAUDIUS. where one of them is wearing an eye patch.

Bro 1: Looks like you lost an eye.

Bro 2: Yep. You seen it anywhere?

Andrew Zimmerman would eat it. Actually he did. In one show he caught a tuna on a fishing line and ATE the eyeball.

So, a woman gives birth and as she is recovering she asks the doctor how her baby is.
“Well Ihgave some good news and bad news” the doctor says.
“Give me the good news first” she says.
“Well, you just gave birth to a healthy 8 pound eyeball.”
“OMG, what’s the bad news?”
“It’s blind!”

Bada bing. That’s my favorite most disgusting joke.
