Tim: It’s this copier. My original didn’t come out of the feeder and there’s a paper jam.
Pam: Let me see if I can clear it. This machine is really temperamental.
Tim: Tell me about it.
Pam: Okay, I found your original, but it’s stuck. I’m afraid if I pull too hard, it’ll tear.
Tim: Let me try. I got it! Okay, I need to shrink the first page and adjust the contrast so that it’s more readable. Then I need to enlarge the second page. After that, I need to make 20 collated copies.
Pam: Oh, oh, don’t look now, but the toner light is on. You’ll need to put in a new cartridge.
Tim: Is there anything else that can go wrong with this stupid copier?!
Pam: Don’t tempt fate. It could be worse. The whole thing could break down!
