For example your key board going bonkers and typing 4 as and when it pleases. Perhaps from a stress of travel, my 4 wireless keyboard started automatically inserting number 4 now and then driving me absolutely nuts. I got mad in a way that 4i normally do not, even 44444in44 fa4i4rl4y 4adverse4 circumstances such as loosing my passport. 44it’s then I landed on the brilli4a4n4t 44p44lan 444444444o4f 44w4ri4ti4ng 4th44i4s bl44og4 4p44o4st444444444444444444444 just to share with you what it’s like writing with the keyboard going totally bonkers. The idea was a wonderful stress reliever and I was beginning to smile at it. But guess what? Just when I started writing the post with the title 4$$”$444444444444444$F$44ru4st44ratio4n44$”$$444444444444444 4444444444″ the 44keyboard4 started functioning perfectly well driving me nuts even more! 4I regained my cool and started writing my paper when all hell broke loose again.
