Things to do when you're bored

A colleague was telling me about a school friend who used to irritate his teachers by repeating the last few words of each sentence a few times, a few times, a few times.

The next time you're speaking to someone, and want to drive them dilly, give it a try, a try, a try.

I had a slightly dyslexic friend who would pronounce many words just slightly wrong, no matter how much you tried to correct him. So it would be his new Cerelon system etc.
It made me crazy.
