Some days it's good to be a secretary

And now for what must be the Most Awesomely Unintentional Dirty Printer Error ever in the History of Man:

"UNEXPECTED SIZE IN TRAY 2"

I laughed so hard I cried.

As a draftsman, I work with erection drawings all day. The instances of opportunity when I can say "That's what she said" around here are astoundingly frequent. One must maintain composure around engineers with no sense of humor.
It's so hard.
That's what she said.

I always enjoyed baiting the clueless computer guys when I worked at the Comp Center on campus. Few things give more joy than observing the hapless embarrassment of a CS engineer getting Groucho Marx eyebrow-wiggling from a female undergrad.

I imagine, though, it's not so easily forgiven coming from a guy. Stupid sexism, ruining your dirty-joke opportunities!

I think that's why they sat me next to the only woman in the office. Not that I would mind that, but it does keep me in line, and I always know when she's coming so I can alt+tab real quick when I'm trying to find nude pictures of elderly celebrities instead of working.

*insert Groucho-Marx eyebrows here*

See? I just can't help it.

Soooo funny.

I'm so glad another girl (besides [livejournal.com profile] everflame) got a giggle out of this.

freakin' awesome...;D

Yay!!! (see my relief at [livejournal.com profile] curieuse's comment, above)

My gutter-brain-comrade [livejournal.com profile] everflame is off line most of today and I was worried that not many people were going to join me in my juvenile giggling fit.

I have also giggled.

Hurray for dirty girls!

OH, yes! I've totally gotten that one and laughed my ass off too.
.. and it can be taken dirty soooo many ways.

How about "please clear ejection tray"?

I had an error that said...
"Please insert larger size"

LOL

Ouch! Dissed by a printer!

I had tons of joy shoving a larger size in it to make it squeel with joy!!

I've seen this message beforw-- in fact, I took a picture of the warning pop-up when it happened, but it was so long ago that I don't even remember where I stashed the photo (this was so long ago I have an ACTUAL PAPER PHOTO OF IT!)

That's fantastic!
