To my dear Tumblr friend, theradioriot—
I can only thank you for clarifying that which I could not see
in my previous reblog. Ugh. You point out a personal deficiency of mine, something that’s haunted me for decades. A scene from Seinfeld (yes, I’m that old) immediately comes to mind:
MR. PITT: (staring at 3-D poster) I think I’m on to something!
ELAINE: Mr. Pitt! The board of directors is on the phone. They’ve called an emergency meeting. They want you to be there to discuss the merger!
MR. PITT: You said keep your eyes out of focus, which is misleading. You want deep focus!
ELAINE: Mr. Pitt, you have got to stop staring at that poster!
MR. PITT: I see something that could be a spaceship. Is it round? Is it pointy?
ELAINE: (grabs poster, smashes it) No, you don’t see it, and you’re never going to see it! (grabs Pitt by the lapels, getting ink all over his jacket)
MR. PITT: Hmm, what’s happened to me? (straightens lapels) When’s the meeting?
ELAINE: In about twenty minutes.
MR. PITT: Oh! (puts finger to face, smearing ink on his upper lip which now resembles a Hitler-style moustache) Do I have time to change?
ELAINE: Um, no.
MR. PITT: Well, excuse me, I’d better get straight over there.
ELAINE: Uh, Mr. Pitt…
MR. PITT: Yes?
ELAINE: Um, there’s a just… (points at her own upper lip)
MR. PITT: (sees Elaine’s hands covered in ink) Is that ink?
ELAINE: No?
(Mr. Pitt exits)
I’m public radio’s Mister Pitt of Magic Eye posters, and you’ve found me out.
Many thanks for the correction,
Trent Gilliss, senior editor
