Pretty soon they'll be regulating how many times a day you can poop. Yes, I see it now, a poop and trade market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Law of Unintended Consequences. That's all too common. A customer tries to save paper by printing certain documents double-sided. It makes sense, sure. But his supliers find the double-sided documents awkward and clumsy to work with. So instead of keeping 18 printed pages, they take 9 double-sided pages and make 18 single page copies, then discard the 9 originals. So 27 sheets of paper are used for an 18 page document. Some savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
