On second thought, maybe we shouldn't advocate using a typer on the beach. Imagine sand getting into the typebar segments. Aagh! But seriously, how would a typewriter type in space? Would it feel a wee bit sluggish? Kinda like a Lettera 22? (Sorry Ton S!)
Good question. Typebars return to their places after typing due to a combination of spring action and gravity, so I think most typewriters would have trouble in space.
Oh, I love it!

ReplyDeleteYou can take him on a bus,
Use him there with little fuss.
You can type him on a train,
But Richard, I wouldn't do it on a plane.
Aye
Ha ha! I most certainly agree.
DeleteI enjoyed this! Incidentally, I have my own Dr. Seuss to post soon. (:
ReplyDeleteVery nice! As John Lithgow's character said in 3rd Rock From the Sun, "This man is a genius!"
