Being temporarily blind in one eye sucks, but is apparently "Hot"

Probably not for him. Either way would just be an opportunity for someone who hasn’t spoken with him before to open a conversation.

This apparently explains the appeal of the old Hathaway shirt print ads.

When I was young and fresh in the Army, I was stationed on a base with a full bird Colonel as the base commander. Guy was hot to begin with (though intimidating).

Turns out, besides all his other awards and decorations, he’d done something to get knighted in Britain. Therefore, he was authorized to wear a sword on formal occasions.

Along comes the annual Army Ball. Very formal. He got some sort of eye injury and had to wear an eye patch.

So, the guy enters the ball dressed in full military regalia, a sword, and an eye-patch.

Over the top hotness. Under any other circumstances, you’d think it was a costume, but it was all real.
