tip top type

There’s a client at my job who busies himself with a typewriter throughout most of his “work” day. However, when I was in Europe, his typewriter ribbon ran out. This hasn’t stopped him from typing though. He mostly likes the idea of pushing buttons and thinking that he’s making lists. After he’s done, he’ll give the paper to me and tell me what it says, even though it’s blank.

Today I went to a typewriter store (for the first time) and bought him five ribbons. What amazes me is that there is still a typewriter store around.
