Two farmhands went to a country dance. One of the hands, Joe, had a wooden eye and was very self-conscious about it. Joe told the other guy, Bill, that he was worried about someone saying something about his wooden eye. Bill told him not to worry because it was a good eye and most people couldn't tell it from a real eye.
Bill danced nearly every dance as there was a lot of farm girls there. Joe just didn't dance at all. Finally, Bill went over to Joe and asked if he had danced with any of the girls.
Joe told him that he had not because he was concerned about them saying something about his wooden eye. Bill told him again not to be concerned about it. Bill pointed to a girl sitting across the room and told Joe.
"See that good-looking girl over there? She's got a hair-lip and hasn't danced but once or twice. I danced with her once and she's an excellent dancer and real polite. Go over there and ask her to dance. She won't say anything about your wooden eye."
So Joe had a couple of more snorts of courage and went over to the hair-lipped girl and asked, "Do you want to dance?"
To which she replied in a high pitched hair-lipped voice, "Would I, Would I!"
To which Joe replied, "Hair-lip, Hair-lip!!"
