12,155. YOU PUT YOUR TIE-TACK IN MY EYE!

YOU PUT YOUR 
TIE-TACK IN MY EYE!
In such an oasis as this such things
actually do mean a lot. Eyes don't
bleed, it seems, otherwise my face
would be red. The two men with
hunched shoulders are laughing.
A lot they care. My miserable
accent, the one guy said, reminds
him of Greece. I left that conversation
dangling because I didn't have a joke.
I was thinking to say  -  but I didn't
know his humor  -  'that's the same
thing your wife said when she was
down on a fours.' No matter; he
may have said 'grease' anyway.
But the joke would still work.
