The bad bad backspace button

So I wonder where all the letters and semicolons and stuff go when we delete them.  In typewriter times we just discretely covered them up with correction fluid, and so successfully prevented them from doing any other mischief.

Now, I just hope they get back in line inside the computer for another turn.  I hate to think of them slinking off into dark corners and forming obscene phrases when we’re not looking.

That would be hard to do with some keys, but I bet a jilted tilde would find a way.

    I’m pretty sure they are forming an army against their deleters.

    Be afraid, very afraid.
