Folks
This came across my email this morning and thought that it might be interesting to some of you.
At least a little smile or chuckle.

Once I got the gist of the paragraph, it was almost as easy to read as if it had been spelled correctly.

I was surprised that I could actually read it... just like it was written normally. I guess that I can toss out the spell checker ;)

Hi Dan,

That reminded me of the (insert state here) 12th grade reading test

CM PN CM BDIS
LIB LIB
MR PUPIES MR SNAKES

Translation:
Them are puppies.
Tham are not.
Oh yes they are. See them peeing.
Well I'll be.
Them are puppies.

Them are snakes.
Them are not.
Yes they are.
See them beady eyes.
Well I'll be they are snakes.

I can't rember the rest. I hope you enjoyed it.
