A 1930s adult learning classroom at which adults sit in rows at desks, reading. Their heads have all been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

The impatient guy makes another appearance in this WPA image of an adult literacy class; he's joined by another "business man" type, this one from a midcentury ad for a multi-level marketing scheme selling...business suits!
