When I'm at the park with my 12" scope, and an attractive solo woman walks by, I say, "I'll bet I can find you a star that's the exact color of your eyes."
About 95% of them either ignore me or say something dismissive or rude. When one of them takes me up on it, I slew the scope to Aldebaran.
She looks through the scope, and after a few seconds, says, "Wait, that star's just white."
"You're right," I say, "and the conjunctiva of your eye is white, too." Then I cup my chloroform rag over her mouth and nose while she's still bent over the telescope.
