Strange 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. "What the..." the teacher said. I typed, "I
said leave me alone!"


The kid got real 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 the
PC 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.
