    Hmmmm... I wonder what type of office equipment they have at The Tobasco Film Company? (from an old M*A*S*H episode...)

    I found a screwdriver a couple years after our shop tech left it in a refurb. Not very exciting but it was fun at the time.

    I still own a stubby Phillips I got over a decade ago from under a copier from a wholesaler. It says 'Charlie' on the end-thanks, Charlie!!

    During a shop rebuild on a lease return, found a dried up puddle of pee. That copier came from an old folks home; hopefully he wasn't injured, the puddle was below the main charge. (Yeah, I know there's nothing going on with the door open, but the imagination is a shocking image)

    I can't refrain from asking: if it was dried up, how do you know it was pee?

    Found a $20 skewered on the ADF Duplex gate of an old color machine. Wonder how that got there.

    Most of the skeleton of a chicken in a finisher bin at a hospital. I'll assume it was lunch, 'cuz I really don't want to know any different.

    CD-R taped to a piece of cardstock and melted in the fuser of a color copier. Seems they ran out of labels and tried to print directly onto the disk. Not sure how it got that far into the machine - I didn't think the paper path was straight enough, but I guess it was up to the fuser at least. Kudos to whoever designed the bypass feed system...

    And I thought the wrist bands for a local skating rink was hard to belive, ya know them plastic wrist straps they put on the kids to let them back in, some night clubs were using them, they wanted to put the company logo of the rink on them, and it was a old Sharp SF 7850 at that.
    Cleaned out the remains and told her it would not work, dang is she did not try it again next month.
