A premature baby was born without eyelids.
The doctors were baffled because they had never seen a baby born without eyelids before. Obviously eyelids are an important part of the human body so the doctors decided the best thing to do was take skin from somewhere else and use it to make eyelids for the baby.
The parents of the baby were Jewish and had already told the doctors that they wanted their baby circumcised. The head doctor, a quick thinking man, figured rather than taking a skin graft and putting the baby in even more pain he would use the circumcised skin to make the eyelids.
The surgery was a success and after a few weeks of healing the eyelids function just as intended. As he grew his body adjusted and now he looks great!
He's just a little cockeyed.
