Asymptomatic

There must be intelligent life down here

Lassigue D'Mato

Do you ever see something out of the corner of your eye and get it stuck in your head somehow?  Like, maybe there's a sign for fried chicken as you're driving down the road, and you see it on the periphery, and then you suddenly start thinking about chicken.

It's one thing when you notice yourself doing this, and know the source of the "inspiration".  But I wonder how many times this happens and I don't realize that I've been influenced by a sign or a flash of sound on the radio or some subliminal TV message.
