Making a funny keyboard!

I had some time on my hands. My friend was coming over to my place. I had just bought a new keyboard and had the old one lying around. What could I do to have a laugh?

Inspiration!

I took my old keyboard and took out all the keys, replacing them in alphabetical order. I plugged it into my computer and tested it by pressing the 'T' key and got a 'E' letter on the screen. LOL it was working. I left it there waiting in anticipation for my friend.

When I opened the door I ushed him into my study to show him something a powerpoint presentation I had been working on (something irrelevant just to get him to notice the keyboard LOL).

Eventually he did and I tried to hold back the laughter as he frowned for a moment and looked at me. I acted as if I didn't notice the confusion on his face.

"Your keyboard doesn't look right", he said to me.
"I've always had it," I told him.
"The keys are all wrong," he said to me.
"Those are the new keyboards", I answered, "they are supposed to help relieve the stress of typing"

So he tried typing on it and I had a great 10 minutes trying to hold back the laughter. Eventually I couldn't contain myself.

I highly recommend this computer prank. If you have an old keyboard lying around try it. I wouldn't recommend you do it on your one and only keyboard because it is a pain to put the keys back together again!
