The Daily Dispatch: December 25, 1860., [Electronic resource], Could see to peel a doughnut. (search)
Could see to peel a doughnut. --Hugh Henry, a former President of the Vermont Valley Railroad, while attending the recent session of the Legislature at Montpelier, made a remark to a friend that he "was a little deaf, but could see as well as ever." He afterward went to the hotel for dinner, and after being seated stuck his fork into a doughnut, and commenced to peel it, supposing it to be a potato. Young Meade, the Brattleboro' sculptor, being a witness of the "optical illusion," retired and produced a life-like sketch of Mr. Henry, while in the act of peeling the doughnut, and underneath was the following inscription: --"I am a little deaf, but can see as well as ever."
