has a glass eye
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A football player from California had an eye gouged out during a particularly violent game. Inspired by his coach's pep talks he, refuses to give up the game and has a glass eye fitted. Although he is still able to play football, he knows that he is not the same player he was before. Also, off the field he is having a hard time adjusting, he constantly feels self-conscious about the glass eye.
His doctor gives him the good news that complete eye transplants are now possible. But the bad news is that there's a chronic lack of donors and the waiting list is about five years.
One night, driving down the Pacific Coast Highway, his glass eye fails to detect a guy trying to go around his car on a motorcycle. He changes lanes and sends the motorcycle flying.
It's late at night and nobody's around and it's clear to the football player that the cyclist is dead. He makes a quick decision and cuts out one of the cyclists eyes with his pen knife. He figures if he rushes it to his surgeon he'll be able to perform the transplant. Before he leaves he pops out his glass eye and places it in the cyclist's eye socket.
Everything is fine for a few weeks, his new eye is working perfectly. But he starts to worry about the cyclist. Everything had happened so fast - what if he wasn't dead after all?
He decided to call the local police station and enquire about the accident.
"Yes, the poor fellow was dead alright," said the officer, "but it's still all very mysterious."
The guy felt a chill of fear run up and down his spine...
"Mysterious?" he asked.
"Yeah, how did he manage to ride his bike all the way up here from Los Angeles with two glass eyes?"
