Re: OOPS. Wrong time of the year for this accident

["James H H Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wasn't there a comic relief bit in "The World According to 
Garp," where one of Garp's sons, after losing an eye (in 
an accident that would be funny if it weren't so horrible) 
is looking through a catalog that included "novelty" glass 
eyes, like a heart for Valentine's day, and a turkey for 
Thanksgiving?

I also remember a local stand-up comic doing a bit about 
an older relative (father? grandfather? uncle?) taking out 
his glass eye, and leaving it on a table, watching the 
kids.

are concerned -- which is why I tend to complain to 
management whenever I'm in an art supply store, walk by 
the polyester thermoset resin, and see that the little 
bottles of MEK Peroxide are out where some kid could get 
into it)
