A little vignette for your enjoyment....(Sophia from Golden Girls style)

Picture This...Media, PA April 29, 2004

A girl, the apple of everyone at the facility's eye, (Did I mention this is a facility for the Mentally Challenged?) going about her everyday job of educating the less intelligent on the ins and outs of how to work a copy machine. A new large machine is delievered to an office which had just over the weekend flooded, due to large amounts of rain. The normal inhabitor of the office (Beverly) is located, the office unlocked, and the machines swapped out.

(Switch to COPS story telling mode)

Everything is going well and the training is just about over until the girl makes one fatal mistake. In the training, as usual, the girl begins her showing of how to load and unload the toner. (Anyone see where this is going, yet?)

"See?" Says the girl "The new toner isn't punctured yet, so you can take the top off and the toner bottle won't spill." The girl turns the toner bottle over and shakes it once, at which point both the girl AND the new copy machine disappear from the Beverly's view into a large cloud of black toner dust.

Luckily for the girl, it was all Beverly could do not to laugh. Unfort. for the girl, her surprise at the cloud of dust caused her jaw to fall to the floor, coating her tongue in toner dust. :) Thanks to the rescue of a wonderful technician (with a toner special vaccuum cleaner) the girl, Beverly, the new machine AND the rainwater-soaked office are all o.k.

It's all true. I know...I was there. :) :) :)
