Well, it depends what it's like, really.

Think of all the dust you'd get settling on your eyeballs, for example.  It's not all bad.

Think of all the times you've thought "this would be so much easier without eyelids".

For they are more than a hindrance.  They are an active menace.

your hands are nature's eyelids.

Exactly there's nothing that eyelids can do well that hands can't do much better.

If everyone in the world were to lay there eyelids end to end, they would stretch to the moon and back over an area covering eighteen football pitches the size of Belgium up to the height of a London double-decker best resting on the back of a blue whale. FACT.

Most people won't pluck their eyelids out for that purpose though, because they are so fucking stupid.

I read today that 10% of basal cell carcinomas are on the eyelids, partly because people don't tend to put sunscreen there.

On that basis, removing them seems an entirely sensible precaution.

It would be quite easy to snip them off with a pair of nail scissors.  Plus they'd make delicious crisps if you deep fried them..  I don't know why no-one ever makes the effort.  It's just laziness.

Where were Prince's eyelids?

Under the cilia.

If the Jap's Eye is an actual eye, is your foreskin its eyelids?

It sort of is, isn't it? Keeping it moist.

Why do so man

Sort of, yeah (if one accepts the premise).

So a circumcision is removing the eyelids? This is a very troubling thought for someone who watched the bris episode of Seinfeld yesterday.

I'd rather have my foreskin than my eyelids, hell take my chin whilst your at it doc, never use it.

Why don't they wear sunglasses?

Alright then what would be the jap's eye's eyelashes?

Don't say pubes because that is wrong.

Has anyone gone into a hairdressers and asked them to trim a bit off the eyelids mate.

Sometimes they do it anyway, I've found.

My eyelids don't work.  I had a ptosis or droopy eyelid several years ago that needed an operation to pull it back up.  Awful, it's local anaesthetic only as you need to comply by opening both eyes to get the height the same.  Watched some golf-obsessed surgeon sewing my fucking eyelid from a 1cm vantage point.  'Lid lift was it mate'.  No.

Then I had five years worth of chalazions or fucking eyelid lumps.  I would enjoy a life without eyelids.
