Stand back, I'm about to remove my protective eyewear.
I brought down a gay man today, using only MY EYES! This means that I am a superhero. It went down like this:
While walking into the bank this morning, one of the tellers was standing outside doing I don't know what, maybe enjoying the opressive mid-morning heat of Orlando in August. So he reached out to open the door for me and began a greeting when at the very same time I lifted my sunglasses from my face to the top of my head.
"Hello, welcome to Washint..."
(lift)
"Oh, my God! YOUHAVESUCHPRETTYEYES!"
He clutched at his heart, bunching the front of his madras shirt into his delicate fist.
It him took a second to gather himself, then he explained (blinking into my face the whole time) that his boyfriend is the only person he'd ever met that had eyes like mine and he assumed that said Prince Charming was one-of-a-kind.
Seriously though, for a moment there he was totally frozen by my eyeballs. If only I'd know I had such power, I would have used it for nefarious purposes by now.
In all fairness, the man seemed a bit fragile, that may have something to do with it.
