It seems that there was a young man who, having lost his left eye in an accident, wore a prosthetic eye made of wood. Why wood, you might ask? Well, the young man was of limited means and could not afford an expensive glass eye ? not to mention the fact that this joke just doesn?t work with a glass eye.
The young man with the wooden eye was depressed, for he felt that he was unattractive. What woman would have him?
One of his friends saw that the young man had fallen into a Prolonged Mope, and he decided to do something about it. He insisted that his friend accompany him to the Church Social that evening.
Once there, the young man?s friend saw a young woman sitting quietly by herself in the corner. He insisted that the young man invite her to dance with him.
?Now, she?s kind of quiet, and she?s not real self-confident. She used to have a harelip, but a few months ago she got it surgically repaired. You can barely see it anymore, but I know she?s still self-conscious about it. You?d be doing the both of you a world of good if you asked her to dance. G?wan, go do it!?
And so the young man found his way to the forlorn young lady?s table. He leaned down and smiled, asking, ?Would you care to dance??
The young lady was so happy to have been asked to dance by this (to her) handsome, dashing gentleman that she could scarcely contain herself.
?Would I? Would I??
?Harelip! Harelip!?
