ppl who get periods should not have to work on days 1 & 2.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.


What if I get exclamations!

Or I get pound-hashed #

Sometimes I go splat *

I shall not ask about my colon or my semi colon;:

All I have to say is:

!\*'/|^%"`,.

Bang bash splat tick whack pipe caret mod dirk birk tail period

Your homework, kids:

Make up a rhyme with the above.

Yes those are names of the keyboard characters.

We had great fun in the old days, back when we had to crank our computers to get them started, making up Haiku or rhymes or nude pictures or other fun stuff with those keyboard things because that's all the computer could display.

Oh yeah you want something educational - again back in the old days of computers when we had dinosaurs on treadmills to generate the electricity, sending email required that you knew the computers or "path" that your email would take ("the route") along the internet.
There was the at @ with the same meaning as today, but it was necessary to distinguish machines - the names of the machines were separated by the character ! so that part of the email address was called the bang path.

You're welcome, with that knowledge now you can sleep at night.

Although once I fell asleep with my computer on and leaned on the ! key.
I was banging away all night long!
