You always hear about/see a movie about a professor that thinks the mailman or newsboy is a spy, but you hardly ever hear about one that thought Harriett Tubman was a spy for the motherland, Jim Carrey is a spy from Canada, or that something isn't right about the obnoxius usher at the theater. Their imagination seems to always be limited to what they see when they first walk outside in the morning, despite people's claims that their minds are so beautiful.
The professor with the beautiful mind didn't share his thoughts about the waittress at IHOP being a Central American spy because he was afraid that people would think he was racist.
