“Ah yes, but how many can read it upside-down?”

Anyone who went to Catholic school. Had to see what Sister was writing on the note to your parents when she called you up to her desk.

Regarding reading up side down: I worked with an old gentleman who noticed that I could read up side down. He told a story of when he was young, he couldn’t afford to buy a newspaper, so he would sit near a gentleman on the bus that would read the news paper. It was folded back, and my friend needed to read up side down to pirate the news from this gentleman. He regarded up side down reading as highly as reading a different language. This coming from a man who read and spoke four languages.
