Optical Character Recognition or OCR is common used by people to scan-in written documents into their computer.

Generally used with a Scanner, the software reads the document and converts it into machine-readable text.

I did some research today, and what I found makes me wonder why the government trusts these methods.

For example:
Patent by John B. Flick

Read who the patent is filed for (John B. Fuck). Reason being? Well, LI looks kind of like a U.

So FLICK is FUCK...Okay...

Well, it's not all that common, right?
Wrong.

What exactly is a TQNG?
To put it short, it's a tong

Well, we can see that, Q and O, and U and LI look rather similar if they're on a distorted document, right?

Well, if you think that's bad, you should pack your Shitcase and take a hike. (Really, U and H look similar? Was the scanner drunk?)

Onwards...

I guess NUT and SHIT look similar too, Have a look for yourself

Marshall Dann...I mean "Damn"


So, if any of the developers of OCR are reading this, I have but one thing to say:

"Why don't you take all the SUITty mistakes out of this FLICKing think, so I can get at least one of my God-DANN pages to come up right."

Love,
BaboonAss

That is fairly odd that there are no people correcting that. It is funny though!

Bump, because I thought this was funnier than that, and the lack of replies tells me otherwise.
