lend me your wit
The fax machine is in my office. Every time my co-worker gets a fax, I pick it up off the machine, and walk it into his office (next door to mine). Without fail, he asks "What is this?"
It's a fax. It's been faxes for the last eight years, and still he asks, "What is this?" as I hand it to him. Soooo...I started getting creative in my answers. But, I've reached a creative lull. Please help me come up with things to say. Previous answers include: Paper airplane kit Oragami tiger - it just needs a little folding Message from Satan...something about seeing you in Hell The Magna charta Your horoscope, silly Libra! email...when did the fax get its own email account, anyway? flamable one thousand papercuts just waiting to happen. A color copy of a black & white doccument Please, give me ideas. Lend me your wit. |

Sign-up sheet for the company orgy. A summons. (reading) Hmmm. Looks like you're fired. A parchment inscribed with strange symbols. It's from my Mom. A birthday party invitation from the boss. Naked pictures of the boss. Ransom note. It's from the garage. Your head is ready. A bomb. What's left of the rainforest. Frequent buyer coupons from the adult toy store. A message from God. Look out. I don't know. I can't read. Page 1 of 1500. Shredder food. I'm not sure, but it might be a fax. Encrypted transmission from our operative in Bulgaria, SIR! A do-it-yourself tampon. The latest polls. It's from Hustler. Something about your subscription. A restraining order. Decals for a model airplane. The world's thinnest encyclopedia. Wallpaper samples. It's your lunch order from Paper Hut. A treasure map. Cup of coffee. Dehydrated spitballs. More work for me. The constitution. Instructions for making a nuclear weapon. |

It is a play, I say. A play on your studpitay. I do not want it in my room. I would not touch it with a broom. I will not tell you one more time. I will not tell you for a dime. It is a fax. A fax, dumbass. |

I couldn't come up with anything funny about the fax, so I just thought up of things to say.
"A letter from your secret admirer" "A memo saying everyone's pay is being cut 25% to cut costs" I wish I could take credit for this one, but I can't. My personal favorite: a quote from Jules Winnfield (that I'm surprised hasn't been posted already) "Say 'what' again. SAY 'WHAT' AGAIN! I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHER FUCKER! SAY 'WHAT' ONE MORE GOD DAMN TIME!" |

You could throw the paper up in the air and start singing:
What's this? What's this? There's color everywhere What's this? There's white things in the air What's this? I can't believe my eyes I must be dreaming Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair What's this? What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong What's this? There's people singing songs What's this? The streets are lined with Little creatures laughing Everybody seems so happy Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this? What's this? There are children throwing snowballs here Instead of throwing heads They're busy building toys And absolutely no one's dead There's frost on every window Oh, I can't believe my eyes And in my bones I feel the warnth That's coming from inside Oh, look What's this? They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss Why that looks so unique, inspired They're gathering around to hear a story Roasting chestnuts on a fire What's this? What's this? In here they've got a little tree, how queer And who would ever think And why? They're covering it with tiny little things They've got electric lights on strings And there's a smile on everyone So, now, correct me if I'm wrong This looks like fun This looks like fun Oh, could it be I got my wish? What's this? Oh my, what now? The children are asleep But look, there's nothing underneath No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them Oe ensnare them, only little cozy things Secure inside their dremaland What's this? The monsters are all missing And the nightmares can't be found And in their place there seems to be Good feeling all around Instead of screams, I swear I can hear music in the air The smell of cakes and pies IS absolutely everywhere The sights, the sounds They're eveywhere and all around I've never felt so good before Thsi empty place inside of me is filling up I simply cannot get enough I want it, oh, I want it Oh, I want it for my own I've got to know I've got to know What is this place that I have found? What is this? Christmas Town, hmm... I just watched that movie. |

I say, don't take them in to him and see if he comes looking for them. When he asks if any faxes came for him, Look at him with a funny expression and say, Humm, when did we get a fax.

He's demanding catnip if you want to see (insert dog name here) again. your lack of creativity O, I had your email forwarded to the fax here let me read it to you "Dear, John" surgery? I didn't know you had surgery. Weird, its addressed to Nancy....O well congratulations...Nancy Something about her being 16 not 26 your wife left you, and she wants half looks like you daughter tried to fax her doll again your psych bill...jesus planned parenthood with the test results It's from your accountant, from St. Barts (hand it to him upside down) Not sure, it's written in a weird language (leave) (staple it a bunch of times) not sure but I think we need to feed the fax machine some prunes Its demands from the fax, it's holding Mr. Coffee hostage you know that young guy in accounting? Its from him, and your wife. It's from satan, he says no deal on the soul HEY! It looks like your going to be a daddy...but who is (say someone other than his wife's name) Those are all I can think of for now. |
I'd start making a copy of the fax, and everytime he asks you "What's this?", just crumple it up in front of him and say "I'm sure it was nothing."
Then again, I'm an ass. |
just say, "it's the fax, NOTHING BUT THE FAX (slam him on the ground at this point) I WANT NOTHIN BUT THE FAX, YOU HEAR ME!? IF YOU LIE TO ME SO HELP ME GOD I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO GET YOU LOCKED UP FOR GOOD!"
..that should get a good laugh outta him, or maybe get you sued. |
It's a paper cut with your name on it...

Old thread, revived! I'm not even sure if clavus has the problem any more. But here goes...
I don't know, but the fax machine just gave birth. It's a boy. It appears to be a piece of paper, but I could be wrong. It's a fancy hat waiting to happen. I'm not sure, but I know it's not a catheder. Don't ask... It's something about a virus spreading through fax papers. Good thing this isn't a fax paper, otherwise you woulda known that as soon as I walked in the door, right? |
its a white sheet of paper with words on it, but thats not important now...
|
Say nothing. Then break out in random show tune and dance around his desk
(While staring intently at fax mutter) Sparrow, you magnificent bastard. (when he asks fold paper quickly and hide it) This? Nothing! Nothing at all. *wink $19.99 for a vibrating! mumble...mumble. (sheepishly grin when eye contact is made) |
"Your commitment papers are ready."
"It's your layoff slip. Sorry man, and to think I just got a raise!" "Its from the Sex Offender Registry. Your pardon application was revoked." |

THIS 1 a (1) : the person, thing, or idea that is present or near in place, time, or thought or that has just been mentioned <these are my hands> (2) : what is stated in the following phrase, clause, or discourse <I can only say this: it wasn't here yesterday> b : this time or place <expected to return before this> 2 a : the one nearer or more immediately under observation or discussion <this is iron and that is tin> b : the one more recently referred to |

For analog - it's a cookbook...
Hmm, a few options. Act really nervous and when he asks you what it is say "uh, nothing, really, nothing at all, just sign it and give it back please, no need to read it..." Or pull the ink cartridge from a pen and give him that and the first page. Then try to convince him that it's electronic paper and the pen is the 'stylus'. Bonus points if you can actually convince him, then when he tries the 'stylus' on the paper look really up set and say "aw, shit you broke it! R&D's gonna have my ass on a platter!" Even better if your company doesn't actually have an R&D department. Or just tell him what it actually is and then laugh maniacally. Maniacal laughter adds surrealism points to everything. |

Tell him it's your latest piece of performance art. Then strike a dramatic and/or goofy pose. Or tell him it came out of the combination phone/printer in your office. Then tell him that someone called for him too and wanted you to pass on SKRREEE-OOOOWOWOWOWOWWWOOO. It's ink and white space. A missive from the overlords - all hail the overlords! Highly classified. Then refuse to let him look at it, insisting that he doesn't have enough clearance. The work of an infinite number of monkeys. Then tell him that Macbeth is printing now and should be done by next Tuesday. Your manuscript and you want him to produce it. Proceed to explain in depth about how it's a gripping and dramatic tale about <content of fax> Before answering, tape it to the window face out. Then tell him that it's a note to the window cleaners. It's his latest psych evaluation. Tell him you took the liberty of writing the test for him and that the orderlies should be arriving any minute now. |
