It's the fine print

Hello all you paper pushers

Last night Wendy wanted to print a document. So in my husbandly duty to please my wife I drag out the printer we have in storage. This printer is one that I have had for many years, but never really use. It seems that it works occasionally. Never when I truly need it. If you will be reminded of the last time I used it; I was trying to print show coupons.

I did have faith that the printer would work on Word documents or at least it did the last time. It did not like to print from anything online, but at this moment it was not a concern.

So I go into the spare room and pull out the printer. Blow the dust off. Just kidding. I had Wendy do it. Still just kidding. I plug in the printer. It starts doing its grinding motion. I wonder what is going on. Wendy asks me, "Are you printing already?" I mention I only plugged it in.

To our surprise it prints out the two month old coupon. I have no idea how it kept that in its memory. I spent 45 minutes trying to get that coupon to print and it prints in 10 seconds when I don't need it.

I wish my memory was that good. I would hope I am a little more relevant though.
