Head’s up, there are a couple of ‘F-bombs’ in this video.
First time using a typewriter
Did you know today, June 23, is International Typewriter Day? Best day ever, right?
Enjoy this hilarious three minute video. I’ve watched it more than once and laugh every single time.

Grew up using a typewriter & still have one but it’s the devil to get a ribbon for. Did you know Tom Hanks has a typewriter collection? There’s even a documentary about them called California Typewriter that was just made in 2016.

Hello there Cathy, Yes, Tom Hanks is a huge fan of the typewriter. I have yet to see that movie, but know all about it. I’ve watched the trailer several times (yup, this is what I do while I wait for Canadian netflicks to have it). He also recently wrote a book about his love of typewriters. Have you tried Etsy.com to order a new ribbon? You just need to know make and serial number of your machine. I’ve had great luck there getting new ribbons. What kind of typewriter do you have?
