Overheard at work
« on: December 21, 2007, 03:45:21 PM »
A client of ours just put in a request to have a printer set up on their terminal server.  They requested that it be called "Physicians Colored Printer".

This of course spawned a barrage of witty comments in our office, some of which are as follows.

"I wonder if that printer is next to the drinking fountain?"


"It's the one located in the back of the bus."


"Someone should tell them the preferred term nowadays is 'African American Printer'."


"It's because those white printers are still always trying to keep all the other printers down."

Adjust the driver so it only prints in black and white. When they call to complain, tell them to stop being racists.  :x
