Where They Toss Typewriters

In Springfield, Missouri each April during Administrative Professionals Week (f/k/a Secretaries Week), some of these vital “gatekeepers” ascend a fifty-foot cherry-picker to throw office objects (over the years ranging from classic typewriters to computer terminals). Overcoming gender and environmental iisues, this event is now in its 18th year.

Dave Roberts of host radio station KGBX describes what takes place at their annual Typewriter Toss and how you can take part.
