RIGHT 1N THE EYEI
Lever you decide to do some
.research on the lower forms of
wit, 'I can tell" you how to go
• about. it. Just get yourself a black
eye. • \
I; had .a doozer recently. My wife
gave it to me. All' right. Not that
way. She was sitting in . 'the car,
waiting for me tocarry the gro-
ceries into the house, . through the
rain ; Just as I bent and reached,
- for the car door to open it and
ask : her if that: was all,, she open=
ed` it smartly from the inside to.
ask me why I hadn't brought out
an umbrella.
When the door nailed' the •in the
eye, ' 1. thought 1 ' was a goner. My,
wife ; shrieked : and.. ran ` straight in-
t° the : house to- see . whether my
Y

policy was 'paid up.
Within a 'few muiutes., the eye
was the ' size and color of a bar-
tender's
artender.'s'beezer. ' But' by the time
we'd. finished arguing about whose
fault it had been, it was obvious
that I'd live.

We; didn't have °a piece of steak,;
and if we'd had, I doubt that it
would have been sacrificed. But
the 'Old Girl, bless her, dug out
• .some :.hamburg that was going a
bit blue, and Made—me-
with
ademe-with a big hamburg poultice, on
the injured ; optic.
Right : off ; 'the • ice, it felt pretty
good at that, and ' I, dropped off
to sleep, moaning but brave. Dur-
ing
the night, • the bandage work
ed loose, and when I woke in . the
dark, I thought the eye .had .fallen
out.: But" it was only hamburg, all
over . the pillow.
Next morning, the orb looked
like a purple golf bali:,'We; patch-
ed it up as best we could, Nand,1
',set off to face the wits.
The comments were hilarious.
They ranged from the simple, dry
brilliance of "Hoo ' hitcha?" end
'"Forget to duck, eh?" to the' coy,
insinuating, "I, : knew she'd catch
up with ya some day." They ran
, the scintillating gamut from the
• inevitable, "1 suppose ya ran in-
to a door" to the ineffably hum-
- of ous.: 'sally, "Meet the former-
welterweight champ of the Smiley.
household."

I came back with some ;real:..
funies myself. "My : wife;" .I re-
,plied:^,°"Footwork: isn't what it • used
to be," I " admitted. .• "Yotta' see
the other guy,""1; quipped. I can
joke along„with a as: wellas
the next bird •
. ` But .after . a while, in fact if I
remember rightly, it was Just af-
ter the . fourteenth "Hoo hitcha?”
T' began getting a 'little sore. I
mean,. fun's fun, you know, but,
after all.
So, . when. the : next' joker made
his move, I told him, dolefully,
that : -a ° maiden lady, who didn't
like my column had thrown ' acid
In . my face, and that I'd never
have the sight of it again. 'lie
turned green. •
next -`;customer was a wo-
man, who tittered, `That'll teach
you . to write things about your
wife in that column of yours.
1 gave her- a gentle, sad look from
my good eye, and suggested, . that
she not let : the . divorce alienate
her from my wife. I. 'left her with
her mouth open. •
