For example, as a kid I remember finding a novelty wristwatch of my grandfather’s that had a cartoon caricature of Nixon exclaiming “I am not a crook!” and his eyeballs jogged back and forth with the ticking of the second hand. I sort of knew the context, but not really…
Now I wish I had that watch!
