At the beginning of the year my office moved to a new building that was remodeled using the direction of a top notch, Chicago architecture firm. Just about anything somebody can think of that an office in my line of work needs was considered. I soon noticed that all the signage included the words in braille. After all, you never know when you will need to accommodate clients or employees with physical handicaps.
Some days ago I rubbed my finger over the dots, and I was completely unable to tell the difference between words. Men's Bathroom didn't feel any different than Guest Closet. I mean think about it. People can't tell the difference between peeled grapes and eyeballs, let alone a bunch of closely organized tiny bumps no bigger than the point of a pencil. And then I got to thinking... It came to me that braille is most likely a fabrication, a trick, to make people think it means something, but in all reality it's as meaningful as fortunes read from the back page of gossip magazines.

Perhaps Braille is a really a secret code. (The cure for cancer or the location of pirate treasure.) It's highly unlikely you want to find any treasure in the bathroom though.... maybe fools gold.
