<p>[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 6278662, member: 93702"]I remember those "electric" typewriters - pretty fancy at the time! Never had those.. I recall High School typing class with the earlier old clunkers. The teacher would yell out "A" - whole class clunks a loud "A" .. then "S", "D", "F", etc... and all keys in class would clunk like a symphony, as one. I was a rebel and instead of hitting "A".. I would occasionally double it up: "AA"... screwing up the musical concerto he was trying to create. It drove him mad... he was hunting constantly to find the source - this bad seed! I did this intermittently to avoid identification - but this went on all year, he was continually trying to narrow down the area/row that spawned this disrespect to his musical genius.. I lasted the semester without getting caught. After final marks were assigned, I walked out of the class for the last time and flippantly apologized for my stutter.</p><p>The glare I received was priceless! I guess you had to be there......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
