Can You Read This?

So now that I decided to do a post about my little (big) brother Gerry, he appears to have decided this is his blog.

He's quite enamoured now about blogs, it appears. That's him on the right in a nightie or something, his son Matthew in the middle and me on the left. I can't explain the yellow tinge to this photo.

Anyway, today, I gather, in his super important job as the big poobah and snake oil salesman in charge of luring rich Americans to a place in Northwestern Ontario called Sunset Country, he received this email.

And he says I should put it on my blog.

I had another post almost ready to go, but seeing as I put his image on my last post without seeking his permission, I figure I owe him something besides a kick in the ass.

So here it is...

Can you read this?

You can't spell?
That's perfectly OK.

I Could Read this. Can You?

So...CAN you read it? I actually can and my brother says he can. If you can't, fear not...45 per cent of the population can't, according to this.

Of course, we in the 55 per cent couldn't begin to tell you what difference this might make to our lives, but hell...it's something!

Now it's your turn. What can you do that most of the population can't? Bodily contortions? Recite the Bhagavad Gita backwards? Predict When George Bush will invade Iran?

Do tell...
