Have you ever worked in a photographic darkroom? I used to work as a photographer, many decades ago. I had to do some black and white prints, one day, and wrote a list of which ones to do on a sheet of white paper, using red pen. Then I went into the darkroom and turned the safelight on (a fairly dim red light), and looked at the paper with my list written on - it was blank. I thought I'd taken the wrong sheet in, so I went back out, and lo (and indeed, behold) - all the stuff was there, in red ink. Hadn't occurred to the young me that you can't see red pen on white paper if the red light makes the paper red too. |

kind of red all over, then |

Your, um, friend would need to be *really* asleep for you to insert contacts without him noticing. Even then, I can't imagine he wouldn't notice immediately on waking, or very shortly thereafter. |
|
| |
So, while I'm all for messing with people's heads, I have to give this a -. Sorry. |
|
| |
But this would be a way to get at someone who's colorblind or partially colorblind, no contact insertion needed. We have a candidate in mind if you're interested. |

P.S. Is English your first language? |

Dr. Curry meet crash, wagster's young protege. crash, Dr. Curry. |
|
| |
yes, crash, very hard to put contacs in a sleeping person's eyes. maybe you can just give them some glasses and make a game of it. |
|
| |
wagster: teach the kid to spell, fer goodness' sake! |
|
| |
crash: Dr. Curry is the town curmudgeon, probably the autoboner, and the author of Pedants of the Languagedoc |
|
| |
sorry, dent but [crash] is certainly being lazy - his spelling is awfuk. |
|
| |
not to mention his grandma... |
|
| |
great jape though. ivisble really *should* be a word. |
|
| |
could I mark that as a tagline? - in all this time, I've never had a tagline... perhaps that should be a tagline... |
|
| |
dentworth: sorry to disappoint, but as patiently explained elsewhere, I am *not* the Autoboner, if only because the Autoboner doesn't exist. And waugsqueke is the town curmudgeon. Oh, wait, he left.
po: I was pretty sure I saw your classic "Recipes for disaster" up there. Hard to top that one, really. |
|
| |
No, if an Autoboner existed, s/he would try to make you think s/he was someone else. Like me. Btw, does anyone ever complain about Autobunners when they get *positive* votes without comments? |
