copiers with attitude will return the favor when you slam their front doors, kick them in the gut, stuff their mouths to overflow...

they'll eat your report that's due in 5 minutes, they'll shred your social security card...they'll smear carcinogenics the length of your pretty girlfriend's face...

be nice to mr. copier, be nice to canongirl...be nice to the librarian, who knows how to even things out.

    Salamander's rules of copiers:

    -The copier always has attitude.
    -The amount of attitude a copier has is in direct proportion to its original cost.
    -The coefficient of wretchedness of a copier is in direct proportion to its original cost.
    -The length of time it takes to unjam a copier is in direct proportion to its original cost.
    -The gene for ability to un-jam a copier lies on the X chromosome, and is deactivated by the presence of a Y chromosome in the same cell.
    -The likelihood that a copier will be available when you need it is a function of its original cost and how badly you need it. A corollary to this is that the line to the copier lengthens in inverse proportion to the amount of time you have available to make copies.


    These observations are the result of years of personal experience with copier use and are absolutely reproducible with all makes and locations of copiers.
