Sent a book to a lovely lady today, her first name was Mertle.

She said you only see that now in the funeral notices.

Comptometers - Key driven (mechanical) calculators

Comptometrists (who worked in accounting firms) would complain that the electronic calculators were too slow ...
They would enter figures faster than the calculator could process - TRUE ...

I thought Girt was Mertle's sister - and together they could outrun any old comptometer.
