A Mind Is a Terrible Thing...

At Grateful Dead concerts I used to see the old United Negro College Fund slogan truncated on t-shirts as above. I thought of that today. My wife was on the phone with me, describing where to place a wood stove. I was trying very hard to picture the corner of the room involved in my mind... until it suddenly struck me that I was standing in that room, with my back about five feet from the corner.

Doh!

  2. When they warned us about flashbacks in health ed I always thought the chance to trip again without even having to take a drug was a great selling point of LSD.

  3. I realize what you're getting at, but even so your back was to the corner. So you needed (what remains of) your mind to recognize that you were in the correct room.

    Don't worry, Gene, we've all found ourselves in that room at one time or another. Most of us aren't lucky enough to have your wife on the phone, but I digress....
