But what you do when you need their eyeballs to help get the job done?

Reminds me of a story my Grandfather Visocky used to tell me about his father 
(my great-grandfather Visocky).

Seems that my Great-Grandfather Visocky was a major in the Austrian Imperial 
Army and being a commissioned officer naturally was able to read.  From the 
story, one of Major Visocky's troops had gotten a letter from his girlfriend or 
wife -- at any rate it was a feminine significant other of some sort.  Since 
this trooper could not himself read he approached my Great-Grandfather with the 
following request, "Sir, would you please read this letter to me?  And please 
don't listen?"
