    Quite the talent; my best is only being able to balance the long philips screw driver in the center of my palm for 27 seconds. I was never co-ordinated enough to consistently catch things, so I instead took to balancing.

    Or after you fixed it and cleaned it.. "Well, It may not work all that well but at least it looks good."

    When I'm working on a particularly difficult issue I have a tendency to rub my forehead and/or temple with my tonery hand to facilitate the thinking process. By the end of the repair I look like Mel Gibsons warrior face in Braveheart. Ok, maybe not EXACTLY like Mel Gibson. Actually, not like Mel at all, just some dumbass with toner all over his face.

    When they tell you how fast you got there and that they had just called in, I like to tell them "we are dispatched by Dionne Warwick and her psychic friends network" or that "I ran"

    When I get a comment on how clean the copier looks or how good it smells, I'll usually say " ... just taking off a layer or two of dirt. It's under here ... somewhere." =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    I've noticed that I tend to make more noise - humming or talking to myself, when I haven't slept well the night before. As if the extra verbal processing helps the brain think it through.

    Scientists say we all have a constant inner dialogue, some of us just tend verbalize it more than others and it seems to happen more as we age, lol
