No word on the father yet. I'm guessing it's the super-spiffy color laserjet in the other room, since you can just see how a printer like that could just sweep a staid workhorse like the laserjet 4000 off its feet. But in reality, it was just about the ink exchange.
I was just innocently browsing through my Livejournal friends page, on a computer in the university library (where I am meant to, of course, be writing an presentation on Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows'), when I see this entry and laugh quite uncontrollably and loudly.
It was one of those moments where everyone stops typing and just stares at the person who made the outburst. Took nearly a minute for everyone to get back on with their work. I hope you are happy.
Really, reading this entry made me realise, I have heard printers is so many places make so many odd and painful noises and have not ever drawn this parallel. Problem solved now though, thanks to these innocent two lines, I think I probably shall now till the day I die.

This whole thread is REALLY disturbing. Maybe not just 'cause of the subject matter, but because of the people having the conversation to begin with.

Thanks for the laugh!
