From Ron in Ohio.
The new employee – An uninformed voter – Stood before the paper shredder looking very confused. A secretary, walking by, stopped and ask, “Can I help you with anything?”
The uninformed voter replied, “How does this thing work?”
The secretary said, “it’s simple.” taking the fat pile of documents from her hand and feeding them into the shredder.
“Gee thanks!” said the uninformed voter, “Now where do my copies come out?”
Being in the Law business, I can tell you about a very impatient colleague. During a Trial he complained that his client had not been given a copy of an important evidentiary document. The Judge took the document out of the Court file so that the lawyer could make a copy. Lawyer zipped downstairs, waited for the clerk (who was on the phone), got tired of waiting and went behind counter. Fed document into machine and pressed button. Whirr, clunk clunk, but no copy.
Yes, he had put it in the shredder!
