The man with the wooden eye
A man with a wooden eye was at a family member's wedding and wasn't enjoying himself. Not one of the single women there would even have a conversation with him because as soon as they saw his wooden eye, they would make an excuse and leave him immediately. It was getting towards the end of the reception and the man worked up the courage to talk to a woman sitting by herself a few tables over. She had a hair lip and he figured that she would be less likely to reject him seeing as she had a disfigurement as well. He slowly walked up to her and when he got to her table, he shakily asked her if she would like to dance. This woman was experiencing the same rejection as he was from all the single men at the reception, so she was quite excited to be asked to dance by this man. She responded gleefully, "Would I?!" The man looked down at her in disgust and responded "Hair lip!" and walked away in a huff.
