If it were me in this action flick, the verbal backspacing would be the most
amusing aspect (not to mention the "context sensitive help" question marking
(cocks head to the side and throws an inquisitive look on a regular
basis)...

On the other hand, I'm picturing the idea of your lips moving very fast as
you start talking IOS commands which have nothing to do with how your lips
are moving.

I'm amused with it! :)

Agreed

I look at the situation like a Kung Fu movie (dubbed of course). The lab is
my evil nemisis with incredible evil dark skills. He has already defeated me
soundly and killed all of my immediate family and my fiance. I must aqquire
the skills to defeat my nemisis, but unfortunatly I can't just montage thru
gaining the required skills and I have no comic relief to ease my pain when
I'm bangin my head against the keyboard.

In other words you better have a burning desire or it's not gonna happen..
