speed typer

“How fast are you?” he asks, hearing the clickity-clack of the keys as she types an email. “200? 150?”

“Lord, no,” she replies. “But typing from dictation or my head is way different than typing from a prepared paragraph. From one of those I type about 70.”

“Oh, well then, I won’t think as highly of you anymore,” and he laughed.

The woman burst out laughing. “Well, thanks. That makes me feel better for some reason, though I’m not sure why.”
