This is potentially harmful B.S.

Blue eyed parents have about a 25 percent chance of having a brown-eyed baby.

Mix in variations like hazel and gray, and the numbers go way up.

Eye color is not a simple single-gene dominant/recessive trait.

Hope nobody decides to shoot their wife for cheating on this account . . .

No, they don't. If both parents have true blue eyes (NOT hazel), their child's eyes will be blue, barring a rare freak mutation.
