        Well, I've always thought it sounded funnier that way.
        Oh, wait, um, D'OH! Sorry.

            I always found it to be most effective when used from the top of a staircase where it can echo.

                Couple of random news stories:

                It appears that the ESA is aiming to send a probe to Venus. Have you ever heard Venus being called "Earth's evil twin"? I hadn't until this, but it makes perfect sense, with Venus having the closest match to Earth's planetary mass but having a really rude atmosphere.

                And here's a story in three parts about a Pan Am aircraft that was forced to be the first commercial flight to circumnavigate the entire globe, thanks to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

                Enjoy, and remember, open these links at your own peril.

                                Time to put the tomato plants out here.
                                Then, fresh tomatoes in about a month and a half. Maybe even in less time if there's any volunteer plants that have taken root already. Yum.

                                        Mrs Lagonda grows tomatoes all year round. I've just slipped out at lunch to buy her some more stakes as they are about to take over the clothes line.

                                            Last night I dreamt that my car had been broken into and all of my MFP repair crap had been stolen. When I woke up it seemed so real that I had to go check...I was very disappointed to find it all still there, pushing back retirement another 5 years I guess. Emujo

                                                            I think it was the first Canon digitals that had a 12mm wide laser slit glass that slid into a slot in the frame. I was the fourth tech to look at this machine for a mysterious line ...

                                                            ... somewhere along the way that slit glass broke, then both pieces pushed back in. (Maybe nobody will notice.) =^..^=
                                                            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.
