While at a meeting with Christian representing Lakawana County, Michael asks Pam to supply him with jokes from a joke book in his desk. While in Michael's office Pam discovers a draft of Threat Level Midnight in a desk drawer. She delivers it to Jim who begins tabbing through the script while Pam looks on. The script is identical on every page except for the final page containing Michael's illustrations.
While on the phone with Pam just after the work day ends, Jim asks her how many words per minute the average person types. Pam replies that she types 90 WPM, and guesses the average person types 70 WPM. Jim replies that he types 65 WPM, which Pam calls "respectable". The average person types between 38 and 40 WPM, what translates into between 190 and 200 characters per minute (CPM).
