To: Dr. Eckleburg

Forgive me Dr. Eckleburg, but I thought you were the road
sign in "The Great Gatsby" which figured the image of the
optomotrist -- which in the novel was highly symbolic. I
looked you up in the "About" section but drew a blank.
I also owe an apology to whom I addressed the post because
I praised his sense of humor when it doesn't apply. As
a matter of curiosity, is your nom de guerre taken from
Gatsby?

I was only making a joke because I thought you thought Lex was making a joke by pinging some literary character, joke-wise.

(Don't you hate it when the explanation of the joke takes waaay too long and ends up in a jumbled mess?)

I'm not familiar with that either, but I'm sure it isn't pretty.

Please continue the discussion. It's edifying, but not funny in the least. 8~)
