Here is one. A friend of mine was working in a computer center, where they did work for companies. This particular day they were printing some forms for a firm (no put intended :-), when they noticed that they were soon going to run out of forms. So they called the company and told them about the problem. The company instantly sent a small van with some people to get the forms and bring them to the computer center. When they arrived, they started to unload the paper boxes, saying: "We wanted to make work easier for you and save you a lot of time. We have already prepared the paper for you." "Prepared? What do you mean by 'prepared'?" "Well, we removed this nasty perforation." -mg -- UUCP: ...!uunet!unido!sbsvax!greim | Michael T.
