well despite taking typing, years ago, which was, I might add, the only course in my life I ever failed.... ooh not quite true, I seem to recall a math....hmmm....never mind...

On one particular day, in the middle of a typing test, my fingers, which seem to become unlinked to my brain whenever a keyboard is sight, somehow shifted position and instead of typing the words "shift lock" typed "shit lick" instead, just as the ever so dour typing teacher, who patrolled the room, was peering over my shoulder. Her icy comment was, "You're not very good with your hands, are you my dear...."

I often recalled her comment, when a few years later, I regularly performed perineal sections under a dissecting scope, on microscopic worms, using a scalpel and an eyerow handling needle and thought, "Fuck you!"

I wish I could now say the same when playing guitar.........
