Reading, PA county controller Judith Kraines complained at a
commissioners' meeting in January about having to type letters and do
other business on a typewriter because her computer was old and no one
had been able to get it to work for two years.
"If we had a computer," she said, "letters would go out faster."
Three days later, she announced that the computer she was complaining
about in fact had not been plugged into any electrical outlet, and that
when the plug was inserted and the computer turned on, it worked fine.
