I believe we just glimpsed the end of the stupid universe.
But why is the light at the end of the universe going "woo-woo-woo"?

Don'tcha know of the fax machines with built in combo shredder/incinerators?
Although I would love to be able to send mater through the phone lines star trek like. Would make delivery very interesting
Have a couch come animaniacs style out of the fax machine.
I read that and thought "why would Mamochan want to fax Tow Mater?" Then realized it was a typo of matter and forehead smacked myself.
You know, we grew up with, and are comfortable with, technology. (As witness, here you are reading this. Evidently you are not afraid to use a computer.) Some older folks aren't so up on the latest tech. Not that facsimile machines are all that new, in fact they're older than the telephone itself, but still.
So, about 20 years ago, I was in the office where my mother worked, helping out on the phones for a few minutes. The fax machine rings, and a document spits out. Then it rings again, and the same document comes out, but in the other direction. Then the regular phone rings.
"----- ------ Consulting, may I help you?"
"Hi, this is $Name, did you receive my fax?"
"Yes, in fact we received it twice."
"Right, because I sent you the original contract and the copy."
<mute> <unmute> "Yeah, we got both of them."
Why do I have the unsettling feeling that she did indeed photocopy the claim and then refax the original?
Because you have gained much wisdom from your time on this forum, young grasshopper. Trust me, the unsettled feeling goes away after a while. Eventually you'll reach the point where you read a thread title and you already KNOW what the SC in question did (though sometimes it's just too blue-screeny for immediate processing), it's just a question of what variety they came up with this time.
And if you really try hard, someday you might even be as cynical as *I* am.
