COMMUNIQUE FROM A MECHANICAL WRITING MACHINE.

Smith-Corona Sterling keyboard

If I had thoughts, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to know them,
And so it’s just as well that I can’t show them.
If I could think, your witterings might render me insane,
So aren’t you glad I haven’t got a brain?

    An insane typewriter! What a terrifying thought. One might have to call in the Brave Little Toaster to put things right.

    Wizard of Oz, LLC, offers brains, hearts, kidneys and other gray-market organs — see their Amazon page.  (For the ink-exhausted typewriter, they even offer ribbons, albeit in the form of rib bones.)

    • Legal, WoO LLC says:

      The term “gray market” is deprecated and to be avoided at all times.  We prefer the term “emerald market.”
