Computer Humor: Texas & Bill Gates (original) (raw)

Readers' Comments

Date: Sunday, September 03, 2000

To Raoul Hashimoto, who is looking for more computer spell check items, I send this:

I type "Both Richland Hills and Hurst, Texas are located in Tarrant County."

Computer replies:
Richland -- Riceland
Hurst -- Huts, Hurts, Hearst, Burst
Tarrant -- Tart, Tarring, Torrent, Tarot
This leads me to type, "No tart of Hearst would dare go out tarring her hut in the Riceland when neither Richland Hills nor Hurst has had a burst of a torrent in Tarrant and they are now consulting the Tarot to find when it won't be so hot that it hurts."
