A house in my street has this small circular window up in its side wall, near where the ceiling is located. It looks like a porthole found on ships, so I always figured the home owner is a retired sailor, who can often be found sitting at this window, staring at the blue sky and pretending it's the ocean, reminiscing about his former adventurous life at sea.
But a couple of days ago, I actually met and talked to the owner and he said that he is not a retired sailor at all. Instead he just installed the little window because it makes it look like his house is wearing a monocle and it cracks him up.
The moment he said it, of course I understood. And now I keep laughing each time I walk by his house. It's just so funny to me that it looks like his house is wearing a monocle. Why would a house need a monocle?! I love it.
He is now my favorite neighbor.

Hello, this is captain J.L. Grover of the Guinevere. I have had a porthole stole that sounds exactly like the one you're describing in this post. Please send me the details of this house so I retrieve my porthole and sail out again.
