At least Cinderella was still a hot, yet one-shoed, cinder maid. I’m curious as to what she changed back into at midnight since she lost one of her glass eyes… yeesh… nasty image.

In the original medieval French it was "oiel de vair" meaning "eye made of fur." Perrault wrote it phonetically as "oiel de verre." Actually it wasn’t originally a glass eye at all.

Cinderella wore two glass slippers. She lost one. The lady he is currently seeking wears two glass eyes. She lost one. On the other hand, does anybody wear more than one glass eye? (Not a retorical question - maybe someone familiar with blind culture can fill us in.) Although he says it’s unlikely, I think Kevin has it. Cinderella wore two glass slippers. She lost one.

It's a good eight feet further away from us than the Prince. That window is easily 10 to 12 inches wide at the base, not four. It’s a good eight feet further away from us than the Prince.

I think that Mike's suggestion that the Prince misunderstands "see" makes for the cleverest joke. Unfortunately, Mike's mind is also fighting the obvious. To be clear: the Prince is looking for a blind woman. If he's assuming she's blind solely because of his past experience with Cinderella, then it could be a 2-layered joke (which I think unlikely).
