Okay, then. Are you sure you're holding the letter upright?

Reminds me of Bush's letter to Obama:

After a President has been in office for 6 months it is customary for the previous President to send a note of congratulations to the new one.

So when the note came from Bush to Obama, Obama was somewhat troubled because it was written in code and all it said was:

370HSSV-0773H

This troubled Obama as he had always heard from his peers how former president Bush was perceived to have been scholarly challenged. So he took the note to his wife. She was unable to decipher it.

They called in Biden, and he was unable to decode the message. They called in the chief of staff and the head of Secret Service detail and they were unable to determine the meaning of the note.

Next he called in the head of the Senate and Speaker of the House. They both were mystified by the meaning of the coded message.

Now there was complete panic in the Oval Office. They called all of their contacts in the media and sent copies of the note to all of them, and not one was able to come up with an answer.

A special emergency meeting was called by the Staff. All branches of the military, counter intelligence, CIA, FBI were called in, and the best minds were unable crack the code.

After a sleepless night, a very scared Obama picked up the phone and called the former president, and asked him the meaning of the note.

Bush guffawed and replied: ‘You idiot! ... You’re holding it upside down!’
