No, no. I believe it was your poorly defined blob I spotted, my friend.

Either that or your tailpipe. I can't tell anymore. I'm hallucinating.

Not true. I distinctly spotted a poorly defined blob that should be a head. I just know it.

But what if someone looked at your tailpipe and declared it your head? This worries me.

Whoa! I think I'm seeing things!

This is classic: "The 0.5 to 3 cm-long animal is wormlike--that is, long and narrow--with a poorly defined blob, or stain, on one end. This 'blob' was arbitrarily designated the 'head' even though it had none of the features generally associated with heads."

Hmm.
