MIMEOGRAPH MACHINES
https://museumofprinting.org/blog/mimeograph-machines/
When i was young, in an office job after high school, part of my work was preparing copies on a mimeograph machine.
There were different models over years. i remember the noisy clanking sound and the strong smell of the ink.
“Mimeographed sheets” were well known in classrooms. Lots of students would inhale the ink vapors!
The one i used was in a closet type room, down the hall, away from offices, because of the noise.
The one i used was probably much like this, i remember them being called “DITTO MACHINES”
thousands+thousands+thousands of pages i copied and delivered!

Re: I think it is funny
Wife: For all the Johns on here.
A man named John brags about knowing everyone on the planet.
He is always bragging about it and mentioning it at every opportunity, and at some point his friend gets tired of it.
So, he tells him, "If you really know everyone, then lets go and meet Tom Cruise."
"Okay, let's go!" replies John.
So, they take an aeroplane to the USA and drive to his house, where John knocks on the door.
"Oh, if it isn't John!" says Tom Cruise. He invites them inside and they sit and chat for about an hour until they leave.
However, John's friend still had some doubts, so he said, "Let's go and meet President Obama if we're in America anyway."
John agreed and they left to visit him.
Obama himself opens the door and says, "John, how's the wife?" and invites them inside too. They chat for a bit and have some food and eventually leave.
Even then, John's friend still had some doubts, so he says, "How about the Pope?"
"Fine," he replies and they fly all the way to the Vatican to knock on his door and he answers with
"John, my old friend! Long time no see! Come in." This time, only John goes in and his friend stays outside for some air. At some point, John and the Pope go up to the balcony and stand together enjoying the view.
When John goes back out, he sees his friend has fainted. John frantically tries to wake him up and ask him what happened, his friend responds,
"When you two were standing on the balcony, the guy next to me turns to me and said 'Who's that with John?'"

Re: I think it is funny
Wife:
A famous physicist, an old man, and a boy scout are taking a tourist flight in a small plane. After they reach cruising altitude, the pilot suddenly has a heart attack. His last words before he dies are, "There are two parachutes over there ... good luck."
Before they can even talk about how they will divide just two parachutes between the three of them, the physicist grabs hold of the straps of the package next to him, says "The world needs smart people like me", and jumps out of the plane.
Shocked, the old man says "Well lad, I've had my time, you take the other parachute."
"We'll be okay," says the boy scout, "Mr Genius just jumped out with my rucksack."

Re: I think it is funny
Wife: and you wonder why everybody thinks you’re a spy…
Seriously, the better question is whether any of the John’s on this forum are actually named John…
