Chicken soup for the Typewriters Soul.

I have a question. Why do surgeons wash their hands so thoroughly if they're just going to put gloves on anyway?
Now I'm sure that there are hundreds of surgeons reading this, so I expect an answer ASAP.

Good, now that I got that out of the way I can get to something that's really dear to my heart.
A friend of mine told me that there is a group of people in Pakistan using typewriters as a way of protesting the Internet. Now, if indeed this is true, there are two things that strike me about this story.
1. That's kinda cool
2. It kinda sucks for them.
Let me explain number 2. You see, these people are allegedly protesting the use of the Internet, but the only way that anyone is going to hear about their protest is through a little something I like to call the INTERNET!
Isn't it Ironic... Don't you think. NO, it's just sort of unfortunate.

Here's the other thing. I don't really know anything about this story, because for all I know my friend just made it up. It sort of reminds me of this parable I once heard.

A young man was speaking with a friend of his one day when they came to the subject of typewriters.
"I don't like them" said the young man
"That is preposterous" said his friend.
"I hear that there is a group of people in a far off land using Typewriters to protest the Internet" he continued.
"That's sort of neat" said the young man.
THE END

So the moral of the story is that you should probably like typewriters. It helps you get along with your friends... Right?

Goodbye for now.
