Mr. Smith writes something daily for Roderick to read, even when he travels.
Today, he is in Knickerbocker City with naught but an iPad and its lame keyboard.
After dinner, Roderick checks his email and finds this:
'Roderick,
Hi. Staying in Knickerbocker City tonight with naught but my iPad...'
Roderick pauses. Gosh, he thinks. My Dad sure knows how to restate that which is already known. He continues to read.
'The iPad has a lame keyboard. Also, the widget that indents embedded text like this note does not work, so I have to use single quotes. So this note will be kind of short. Love, Dad'
Brevity, thinks Roderick, is the soul of wit. Though perhaps not in this case.
