DUMB COMPUTER

>> For a computer programming class, I sat directly across from someone,
>> and our computers were facing away from each other. A few minutes into
>> the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our
>> computers
>> and switched the inputs for the keyboards. She came back and started
>> typing and immediately got a distressed look on her face. She called
>> the
>> teacher over and explained that no matter what she typed, nothing
>> would
>> happen.
>> The teacher tried everything. By this time I was hiding behind my
>> monitor and quaking red-faced. I started to type, "Leave me alone!"
>> They
>> both jumped back, silenced. "Whaa??" the teacher blubbered.
>> Then I typed, "I said leave me alone!" The kid got really upset. "I
>> didn't do anything to it, I swear!" It was all I could do to keep from
>> laughing out loud. The conversation between them and HAL 2000 went on
>> for an amazing five minutes.
>> Me: "Don't touch me!"
>> Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard."
>> Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Etc.
>> Finally, I couldn't contain myself any longer and fell out of my chair
>> laughing. After they had realized what I had done, they both turned
>> beet
>> red. Funny, I never got more than a C- in that class.
