Does anyone remember a Charlie’s Angels episode that focused on dyslexia? I remember that some of the Angels were on a semi-pro football team, and one of their wide receivers was dyslexic. Anyway… at one point, the Angels or someone determined that the other team – maybe one other defensive player – was looking into the huddle and stealing plays. Ya see, the quarterback would demonstrate on their own jersey the patterns the wide receivers should run (which is how it’s done in pickup games, not organized football!). Well, what the quarterback did was reverse the diagrammed play for the dyslexic wide receiver, and the other team would key on this, but the dyslexic wide receiver would actually break the other way. Brilliant! Advantage Dyslexia! I must have been about 10 years old when saw that. I think that’s how it went down. If not, I must be nuckin’ futs. . ---

Then there was the dyslexic gentleman whose wife died in his arms because he kept dialing 119. And pity the WWII general whose troops were overrun because of his misguided call: "To rams! To rams!! He was later killed because he thought a sign on a building said “booby tarps inside”. ---
