Ned Flanders' Eyeballs
2003-06-11, 8:57 a.m.

When I drive to work in the mornings, I often have to stop at a many red lights. At one particular red light, there is building that houses an eye doctor. There is a banner outside the building that advertises Lasix surgery.

Every time I see this banner, I think of the Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders had the surgery and at the ten-year mark, his eyes fall out. The thought makes me giggle. Then the light turns green and I keep driving.
