Decor – Free Fax Tree


Free

I’m tired of ordering things over the internet, and having to wait for them to show up. Until the ACME company delivery service starts serving my part of the country, the best I’m going to be able to do is have this tree FAXed to me.

Then maybe I can vote for it for Congress.

Thanks, Tammy!

    Dan, did you give them the right number? My phone keeps ringing, and every time I pick it up, I get fax tones and sap in my ear.

    Glad to see that, rather than giving up in the face of email, Fax companies are branching out into new technology.

    They’ve turned a new leaf and embraced the future.

    Or maybe they’ve gone green and this tree is made from recycled fax machines.

          I know. It’s making me pine for the days when I lived in the forest.

      Binary makes things so much easier. Particularly for notation. Imagine if those Occupy Wall Street protestors had used it… instead of all the trouble of forming those difficult nines, their signs and street formations could read:

      I’m part of the 1100011%.

      Or should that be… perduo?

      Perdue?

      Parkay?

    “So, Mr. Ishkabibble, you’re saying you came in to the office this morning and found your computer on, correct?”

    “Yes”

    “Your fax machine was missing and in its place was this piece of foliage?”

    “Yes”

    “And the page displayed on your monitor was from Craigslist?”

    “Yes”

    “Mr. Ishkabibble, are you trying to tell me that your tree posted an ad on Craigslist? Is that what you are saying?”

    “Well, I can only speculate…”

    “No speculating here, Mr. Ishkabibble, all I’m interested in is the ficus. Just the ficus.”

          Hey Ficus, what’s happening? We have sort of a problem here. Yeah. Apparently you didn’t put one of those new mulches on your TPS report.

          *Ficus sits there, growing quietly*

          “Mmm… Yeah. You see, we’re now putting partially composted leaf mulch on all the TPS reports. Did you see the memo about this?

          *Ficus rustles gently at a slight breeze from the fan in its cubical*

          Yeah. If you could just go ahead and make sure you’re mulching properly before faxing in your TPS reports that would be great. And I’ll make sure you get another copy of that memo. OK?
