Careful, Mark, you’re betraying your age. I’ll bet you even know the difference between a mimeograph and a spirit duplicator!

Ah, kids these days! I suppose they think that a carriage return is the place where they park the carriages after carting the tourists around Central Park.

“Underwood” was a brand of typewriter. So I guess there is a joke in there somewhere between the pun on “…wood pecker” and “woodpecker” and hunting-and-pecking as a style of keyboarding.
