funny OCR

I was scanning my “State of Texas” drivers license with a program that automaticaly performs an OCR on all scans…  So when I went to save the pic, it showed the default title as “pestsex.tif”.  I thought wth where did that come from..  so i looked it up to see if it was some sort of virus-like issue, makes you wonder doesn’t it?  So I scanned it again and the file name was different.  As it turns out, the OCR engine was reading “state of texas” as “pestsex”!
