if the person taking the test had a brain tumor or stroke that allowed him to see to his left only (a right homonymous hemianopsia) he might start on the right and read to the left. since he can't see to the right he might move vertically in an attempt to find a starting point within the blind area. by the way, he should not drive.....its a complicated subject...call later i'll try for a better explanation.....bob

From "an interesting blog"
Listen, Buster (which I couln't resist)-I don't know how old you think I am, but I'm no spring chicken myself. I am 45 if I'm a day, and well versed in maskery. I think other people force me into masks, and I am too polite to climb out of them or point out that they actually aren't there. Perhaps masks work like snake skins- as soon as you're aware of your mask you shed it. So many questions, so few typewriter keys.

My Dear Stephen,
I received your New Year’s missive this morning. I recognized your firm, manly hand immediately, and avidly opened its envelope eagerly expecting a jolly note, and I wasn’t disappointed.
But, dear Stephen, an assertion that a check is enclosed is not the same as actually enclosing one. Perhaps it has something to do with appearance and reality. This is usually discussed in Philosophy 101. There are people who think that saying something makes it true. I believe that it was Kant who wrote several volumes discussing this problem—or it may have been my mother.
Search as I may, even after carefully inspecting every corner of the envelope, even calling Sam the Bloodhound, Mrs. Garamond’s affable pet, and even after resurrecting Sherlock Holmes and putting him on the case—no check was found.
Sherlock mentioned the ideograms at the bottom right-side of your letter. Watson has been unable to find a dictionary in any language with which to decipher them. Any clues that you might share will be appreciated.
Another mystery to be solved is the regular alternation of lines in bold with lines in regular font in my letters. Please take no ill meaning, friend, in fact, take no meaning at all. My printer is out of control, mischievous, and needs a good thrashing—or, perhaps, defenestration.
I remain your devoted servant, sir,

Note to Bob-
Bob:
I had to go the motor vehicle bureau in order to make a change on my license.
While I was there I saw a man taking an eye test using an optical device that looked like a long pair of binoculars.
I assume that there is an eye-chart within the device.
Apparently he misunderstood the instructions and he read the eye-chart vertically. Has this ever happened in your office? Is this very rare?
When the examiner asked him to read horizontally he read from right to left. No, he was neither Chinese nor Hebrew.
Does this happen in your office?
