Photocopier problems

[muck_a_luck]

Cellmate: I need you to help me with one thing. Leads me to photocopier Where did it go?

First, I think she's lost the copy. I start searching the paper path.

Cellmate: But doesn't it go through here? Indicates document handler

Me: Oh! You lost your ORIGINAL?!

Then, I start searching the document handler path, expecting it to be bunched up in the back end of the handler. You know, you've had it happen to you, I'm sure. But nothing. Then, I run through another original. Nope. Goes through great. No blockage.

Me: It's not here! What did you do? You have broken the laws of time and space!!!

Cellmate: No I haven't! It has to be there! Long pause as we check and recheck Wait. Could this be the original? Picks up document from copier output tray

Me [grabbing paper}: Give me that! Feels edge. Identifies old staple holes YES!!!

Me [Laughing maliciously] [Mocking high-pitched voice]: Where's my original? Where's my original?

I'm still snotting all over myself sniggering about it.

*shakes head* *sniggers more*
