An old-fashioned typewriter – Funny Story

I was walking through the park and came across

this guy typing on an old-fashioned typewriter.


He tapped his chin for a second before saying,

“Othello” and began typing away.

Being the curious jerk that I am, I peered over

his shoulder to see what he was doing.

He had typed “Othello” on one line and followed

it with a description of the name as classically used in the English language.

I looked beside him and saw stacks and stacks of papers

with similar text. He had no phone and no computer near him. I was amazed!

“Holy cow, man! You’re writing an entire dictionary

from memory? That must be incredibly difficult!”

He said otherwise.
