I believe the intended inter- pretation is for your *eyes*, as opposed to your *mouth*. Secret material, not to be divulged, discussed, etc. But it's equally appropriate when interpreted as for *your* eyes, as opposed to your *girlfriend's*, *uncle's* or whoever else's eyes. Again, "do not reveal this information to anyone else". Perhaps the ambiguity is intentional. Stu Friedberg
