The artful dodger

It Wasn’t for making 1 copy it was for making 100 copies of his kids art work

The first time I saw a copier in my workplace I used it to make a copy of my butt. I’m not sure what that says about me but I know I was about 25 years old. I’m also not sure why I’m sharing this… lmao…

I read once in Reader’s Digest about a woman who worked in a military office. They were out of paper, so she went to the copy machine to borrow some. The person in the office refused to let her have any, stating it was for copies only. So, the secretary made copies of blank paper.

1980 — 45 years ago:A mention on Johnny Carson’s show, a segment on NBC’s ‘’Real People,’’ a lifetime suntan salon membership, poster opportunities, T-shirts and a secretarial pool fan club. All these things and more have entered Jodi Stutz’s life since the Rock Island woman lost her job at Deere And Co. after she dared to bare her bottom on a photocopy machine.

I feel like there should be a caption because it looks like she’s saying something to him. Any ideas? Here’s mine.

“Don’t worry, when I did it, they put me up for three days. So you should be home in time for Thanksgiving.”

He needs to atoner for his crime!

He used the color sublimation copier.

The only time I ever used the company copier was to make copies of my resume’.

DOGE ?

Looks like he’s hanging on springs. Boing,boing!

They should install printer stocks.

Offenders will be hung out to dry, accordingly to company policy

Tsk, tsk, stealing paper and toner from the company!

I don’t want to imagine their penalty for copying one’s butt.

HA! That’s great!

for shame!!… (altho, to be fair, better than making a copy of his buttcheeks!)

Go on, Bleeb! Go for it!! They’ll be wondering WHO has such a small bum!!!!! No, I don’t think you should sign it. Well, maybe just my copy. :)

No copying my homework!

I have a feeling the boss doesn’t get any Happy Boss’s Day greeting cards.

My dad used to take us into the office when he had to work weekends. I remember copying a car drawing and putting actual HotWheels into the scanning bed. I’d decrease the size as much as the percentage would allow, then make a copy-of-the-copy and repeat the process until the thing was barely visible. Then I’d blow it back up again with the lost fidelity to see what was left once it was full size.

If that guy were duct taped instead of chain to the wall, he would probable sell for 6.2 millions…

Who is running this company, the King from the Wizard of Id?

Can he be photocopied from up there?

and she replies: “wow, your kid must be a really terrible artist!”

Reminds me of that school where they nailed a guy to a plus sign. Proof of how serious they take math.
