    Copier Limericks

    I know it, I'm no poet but here goes...

    There once was a tech named Mitt
    He was lazy and couldn't fix shit
    He bribed all his peers
    By buying them beers
    Then he went broke and he quit


    There once was a tech named Sam
    Who just didn't give a damn
    His clients would flee
    His boss couldn't see
    Lazy techs put your ass in a jam

    There once was a tech named Jack
    The customers never wanted back
    His machines never worked
    He acted a jerk
    But the boss wouldn't give him the sac


    There once was a tech named Quinn
    Other techs had to go where he had been
    He worked all day long
    Wouldn't admit he was wrong
    The machine simply wasn't plugged in


    There once was an ass named Joe
    The companies money he would blow
    He changed lots of parts
    Claimed his craft was an art
    And swore there was nothing he didn't know


    There once was a tech named Bob
    who was considered quite the slob
    His machines were unclean
    The worst you had seen
    So now he's looking another job

    Well you're definitely not a poet, but I know a couple of each.
    Not bad. =^..^=
    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 also do not have the poet gene.......but

      Ahem




      There was a technician called zaza
      His posts were a little bizarre
      One day while uploading Frim War
      There was loud knocking at the door
      It was Paul with a manual, what a star
      Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints

        Just for kicks,

        He's called engineer, tech, or rep,
        his real name though, is Bob,
        With one hand holding a phone,
        in front of a machine- alone,
        asking some one else how to do his job.

          Lets see if this works:
          A machine I once worked on was sad,
          The document feeder was bad.
          All the moving wires
          should have died in some fires.
          The end of that machine made me glad.
          Nope, no good, sorry.

            One Friday in recent time
            fellow tech on the telephone line
            He barked like a spaniel
            Didn't take the damn manual
            Alas for him, SC 899!

                Alright I'm game! here's my two bobs worth.

                The Japanese engineer said Ah so!
                I've designed this copier just so
                its footprints so slim
                its hard to get in
                But the field techs called him an arsehole!

                  OK, up for another one?

                  The salesman promised it would
                  Print on cardboard, plastic and wood

                  What the hell have you been smoking?
                  It would jam in all likelihood!
