A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO. "This is a very sensitive and important document here and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work for me"?

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO, as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."

… copy.. this reminds me of another story - one of our subcontractors came in late one evening and asked to make a copy - I pointed him to the copy machine in the next office… he came back after a while and said he needed some help, because there was a problem…  making a copy? oh well, I followed him to the other room and he showed me a pretty bad copy (dark) - I tried to find out what happened, but it took a while to get to the bottom of it, because he was of foreign origin..  it turned out he had a thermo fax he was trying to make a copy of, but he put it into the paper feed at first - of course the heat turned it pretty dark and unreadable - not much that could be done at this point… it was hard not to break out in laughter at the time…
