Memorable moment?
“One of my teachers told me he went to a site where they put a box of glazed donuts on the document feed and made 100 copies. The sugar got stuck on the screen and the paper started to get stuck. No one knew what was happening. I don’t know why they made those copies. No one confessed anything.”
