Ummm...

If you type in: "Wouldn't it be interesting if people experimented a bit
before jumping to conclusions like "racism at Microsoft"? The computer
responds "wound."

If you type in: "Perhaps it is just jumping to the Thesaurus entry next in
alphabetical order to the phrase typed," the computer responds "periapt."

If you type in: "The only interesting question is 'Why is "I'll drink to
that" in the thesaurus?'," the computer responds "the upper house."

If you type in: "I'll drink to that," the computer responds "salutation
with a drink" and further suggests:

Cheers!
