A MAN who asks people to correct him if he was wrong does not in fact wish to be corrected, it has emerged.

Jon, not his real name, from Southhampton recently declared that wi-fi signals caused a range of serious illnesses, and invited people to correct him if he was mistaken.

However upon being told that wi-fi caused nothing except faster-loading websites, Jon became angry.

He responded: “Correct me if I’m wrong, but wi-fi is basically tiny lasers shot directly into our brains.

“The only safe internet is dial-up and people who deny it, correct me if I’m wrong, are paid by the government to spread lies.

“You also shouldn’t have a microwave, because it makes the iron in your blood radioactive. Correct me if I’m wrong.”

Jon’s workmate Marttin, not his real name, said: “I tried to tell Jon he was wrong and he lost his temper and said I was a munter. He added that nobody asked for my opinion.”

Jon said: “In the future I’ll just begin every sentence with the words ‘Do not attempt to correct me, because I am right’.”
