I once told my wife an amusing story I'd read in Australian Personal Computer where a computer technician was told by a secretary that she was great with computers, said technician was very happy and joked that he was glad as the last person he had to help thought that the way to input capital letters was to press the caps lock key, the capital letter and then press the caps lock key again... To which the secretary asked "what's so funny about that?"

Anyway, I chortled after telling this to my wife, to which she looked at me with a puzzled look and asked me what the punchline was...

To be fair, some of the fastest typists use caps lock instead of shift, since it makes the shift action modal, instead of requiring coordination of multiple fingers at once.
