Typing Practice for Programmers

I'm awful at typing. My friends make fun of my rapid chicken-pecking.

I shrug and say I don't type enough to mind.

I encourage you to drink heavily. A friend of mine learned to touch-type because he came in to work hung over too many times, and felt queasy switching between looking at keyboard and screen... so it made him learn to touch-type...

Your advice is "drink heavily"? Is this a kind of joke?

If you're a native English speaker, you really have no excuse for not detecting that it's a joke.

I am not a native English speaker, so I guess it just flew over my head.

I think it was a bit tongue in cheek.
