Yes. And there is still the ethical problem of whether the seeds count as pregnancy!

Well, I don't know what to say. It's probably best to comment with 'no comment':

There's a Gary Larson cartoon about the "First Annual Psychics' Conference", which notes that the event had gone well, marred only by a slight tension in the air from the unforseen faux pas of everyone wearing the same dress.

  1. Go to a drive-through.
  2. Say: "I'm sorry but I'm blind. Can you read the menu to me?"
  3. See how long they will read before realizing you cannot drive if you are blind.

My boss (from quite a ways back) was legally blind and had a special drivers licence.
None of his cones worked, just the rods, so he could see B&W to the sides but nothing in the middle where it's all cones. He could read the computer screen if he put his face about 10 cm from it and wiggled his eyes, so I bet he'd not be able to read the drive-through menu from the car.

Another talent of his: National champion of bench-rest rifle shooting, the most accurate form of marksmanship. I guess passable eyesight wasn't particularly necessary.

All true.

I had a philosophy prof like that. He had a custom device for his laptop that let him read the screen. Not without some effort.

He was also able to write on the blackboard, but had to do some interesting things to read his own writing. He even was able to do a passable drawing of certain things to illustrate certain concepts. He drew a passable "duck rabbit" in class one day.

That's missing the 2020 version of someone even fatter lounging (in their nightwear) on a couch pointing a single finger at a tiny smartphone.

Black Velvet is apparently a Canadian whiskey, so I'd lean towards Canada.
Produced in Lethbridge, here in Alberta. It's cheap and awful.
