My Eyeball Just Fell Out of Its Socket – What should I do?

Found an interesting article at Slate:

Villanova basketball star Allan Ray had his eyeball literally poked out of its socket by an opposing player on Friday night.

What should you do if your eyeball comes out of your head?

You can read the rest of the article here.

Of course that article made me think of an earlier post I made way back when of wifeGeeding removing her glass eye.

So, for an encore performance, you can watch her remove her glass eye here.

If you want to see the glass eye by itself, click here.

Meanwhile, President Truman and his inner circle waited for the note that would change history.
