I suddenly looked at her and said. "Holy shit. Kay is the name and Kiss starts with the letter K...."

I had a similar one. When I was a kid there was a commercial (and might still be) for Nut and Honey cereal where a guy would be eating it and when his wife asked him what he was chowing down on, he would reply "Nut and Honey" and she would get irritated.

It took me a bit of time to understand that it was a phonetic joke and she thought he was saying "Nuttin' Honey".

I guess my brain was seeing the guy slurping down that sweet Nut and Honey cereal so that's all it registered.

In later commercials, they made the joke a LOT more obvious, probably for people like me:

I learned that around 2 years ago… then completely forgot it until I read your post. You’ve helped a lot of old people who are crap with technology today. If there’s a PCF medal then you should get one.

On an Android, just press and hold in the text box (but not on the text itself) until a zoom window pops up. You can then drag the cursor to exactly where you like, and even fat sausage-fingers won't get in the way.

We could blow this thread up with mobile platform-related things, so I posted an iPhone-focused thread with my best tip
