an embarrassing moment for my fiend colin, who also produces 'folk orbit'folkorbit@yahoo.co.uk

'As a teacher of Information Technology, my worst moment was when I was demonstrating to a class, full of boys and girls aged 14, some more advanced word processing techniques. They were all gathered around. I pointed at the little flashing line on the screen and referred to it as, the 'Cursing Flasher'. The class roared with laughter. They knew I meant 'Flashing Cursor', but it didn't stop me crawling into the woodwork where I spent the rest of the lesson.'
