What is 20/20 vision? 20/20 vision is a term used to express normal visual acuity
(the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. ... If
you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see
what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. Someone who is legally blind has a corrected vision of
20/200 in their best seeing eye. ... Visual acuity of 20/200 means that what
the legally blind person can see at 20 feet, the average person can see clearly
at 200 feet.
“What's your twenty?” comes from “10–20” (ten-twenty) which
is part of the Ten Code used by C.B.ers borrowed and adapted from the police
and emergency services. ... “What's your twenty?” comes from the days of
Citizens' Band Radio. It means “Where are you?”.
The 20 dollar bill has a picture of Andrew Jackson on it. If you fold a 20 dollar bill just right it appears to have a picture of the 9/11 twin towers on it. Interesting enough, if you add 9 and 11 you get...20.
The 1920's were known as the roaring 20's. This is due to the large number of lions that were imported from Antarctica in that decade. People had a hard time sleeping due to the constant roaring, so they started wearing funny hats and tasseled clothing to distract the lions. The tassels would flap back and forth and distract the animals, sort of hypnotizing them...leaving them in a trance of sorts. The people doing this distracting became known as flappers...and now you know the rest of the story.
After the dust settled from this lion-filled decade, it started blowing around again. This of course led to the "dirty thirties", which I will write about in more detail in the year 2030.

Feel free to verify the information in this column. As always we look forward to any constructive compliments you may have.
Hmmm, only constructive comments? That's going to be tough. Now you say you have 20/20 vision, and you're pretty proud of it, but I seem to recall that you failed to see what was leftover in those civet cat coffee beans that 'Laurel' brought to Palmville on New Year's Eve. Who was she really? Do you know? Was Laurel her real name? Did your Superman vision help you identify her? No?
ReplyDeleteShe was really a civet cat coffee counterfeiter. I kid you not!. She had everybody fooled. The 'coffee' she fed to us wasn't made from civet cat poop at all. It was monkey poop. Yeah, good old fashioned Barbary macaque monkey poop. Only an expert can differentiate palm civet cat poop and Barbary macaque monkey excrement, so we shouldn't feel so taken in really -- and we don't, but you had the gall to brag about your wickedly perfect eyesight and insist you knew the difference! She really pulled one over on you! Ha ha!
Maybe next year, with practice.
