A Funny Practical Joke

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a genius, sometimes there is no doubt in my mind. Here's a little trick I figured out. You should probably try it next time you are bored.

My brother, Shane and I use the same computer. He's always typing papers for school and stuff. Well, I am a horrible speller (as this post will most likely reveal). I was typing along and spelled their as thier. Good old auto correct did its job and the error was fixed. Suddenly I had an idea. A wonderful, splendid, aweful idea!

I went into the preeferences for auto correct and there were thousands of misspelled words, all of which would be changed to the ccorrect spelling iff you made an error while typing. I added "Shane Palkovitz" to the list of misspelled words and told it to correct with "Monkey Face Orangutan Butt Palkovitz." The next time he typed his name, it auto corrected and switched to his new nick name.

It was a smashing success! I was downstairs and could hear the shouts from above me. He came running down the stairs yelling and proceded to give me a wedgie and stick his nasty feet in my face. I would have fought back but I was on the phone and I was laughing so hard I couldn't defend myself. So give it a try.

Side note: I ate Reduced Sugar Cinamon Toast Crunch for breakfast. Isn't that kind of ironic and pointless? I think it's like a reduced meat steak, or maybe reduced smoke cigarettes, or maybe alcohol free jack daniels. Whatever it's like it's nasty.

Ian, if you only knew. I wrote a nice nickname for you too. well it was not nice. it was as long as the computer would allow an auto correct to be. it included your least favorite word in the whole entire world along with a couple of other mean not too vulgar words. I wasn't allowed to save it. i had to erase it.

I must say: that's a clever little trick. I wish I would have thought of it myself.
