Though I guess that last one is now obsolete due to the proliferation of cell phones. I tried to eliminate the copier question once by hanging a huge sign over my head with a red arrow pointing right at the copier, which was only five feet from the desk. It said "COPIER -->" and did absolutely no good whatsoever. People would stare at it and then still ask where the copier was.

At 54 years of age I have seen and despair at the constant degeneration of our overall society. I cannot understand that with the things at our disposal today, that weren't even dreamed of when I was in school, that we're sending out morons to take over the world. Just watch any Jay Leno "Jaywalking" segment on the "Tonight Show". More often than not, they're even teachers. GAWD!!! Now, at least, if they had a personality like "Pinky" (of Pinky & the Brain) I think I could live with it more. But, alas, and more's the pity, they do not! Semper Furry! --Me Furry
