Notes

Other expressions the compilers found in while researching include:
● I see said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw
● I see said the blind man to his dumb and deaf wife at the corner of the round table in front of his mute friend
● I see said the blind man as he peed into the wind. It’s all coming back to me now!

All rather baffling…
