On occasion, my mind will work overtime. I recall, as illustration, spending the
better part of two weeks drawing, calculating, redrawing, and recalculating the
same DC theory combination circuit to solve for all voltage drops. I must have reworked the same problem fifty
times just to ensure that I understood every step.
Contrarily (and you might argue more commonly), my
mind drops into something I call “undertime” mode. In undertime mode my mind stops driving the
car and sort of drifts off the roadway and into the alfalfa field where it then
randomly bumps into stuff.
Goofy thoughts occur.
Today, as example, when my mind floated off as I
read an email, I chanced on a “Q” in the upper case somewhere in the text. I stopped reading and stared at the Q.
I am now ruined for life.
In undertime mode I realized that the capital Q had
a tongue and was trying to lick the letter next to it.
The letter Q will never be the same again.

Are you sure it was a tongue?
