could have been one of those teenage mutant ninja turtles. hiding in the brush, waiting, anticipating a golfer's errant shot. when the golfer enters the shrubs looking for his ball........ BAM the turtle strikes aiming for the eye.

Have you ever eaten a cow eye? I haven't but they sell them by the bowlful in San Antonio.
