Two guys are walking in the woods when a wolf attacks them.​

They suffer a few bites, but they get patched up and go about their lives.​

The next month, on the next full moon,​

They suddenly change into wolves and run in the woods and kill a deer and do other wolf stuff.​

In the morning they wake back up as humans.​

The first guy starts losing it.​

“Oh my god!” He shouts.​

“We are wolves!”​

The second guys go to calm him down.​

“No, now, we are humans. We werewolves.​

 
I used to own a typography shop.
I worked for Linotype for many years and an upshot photo-type company for a few years.
Mostly taking old "hard" type drawings to reconfigure for photo-setting masks.
Each of about 250 characters per font had to be redrawn at around 100X and film cut.
It was very precise work using special brass scales made for a particular font.
Even at that size we often made changes to a curve that was 1/100" off.
When Apple computers started supplying fonts they were so ugly I thought they would never replace typesetters.
Once Adobe started supplying fonts to them the change was unbelievably positive.

I used a Pacesetter computerized photo typesetting machine…. No lead!
I bet very few people know what bell codes or kerning is.

Do so.

1. Bell Codes (Toronto) 416, 647, 437.

2. Is what you do when you work for KFC. In a sentence: I am definitely kerning my pay this week.
