I love this story about Georgia O'Keeffe. Late one night, she was home in Taos when someone knocked on her door. She tried to ignore it as she cherished her solitude and wasn't expecting company, but the knocking continued.
Finally, she opened the door to a stranger who said, "I want to see Georgia O'Keeffe."
She stared at him in disbelief, then uttered, "Ventral." She slowly turned her back and said, "Dorsal," and shut the door in his face.
I tried to get my cat to pose for dorsal and ventral pictures, but she was busy painting. When her exhibit opens, remember you heard it here first, folks.
