...and keep your ass off the copier!
Photocopier supplier Canon is warning customers to take better care of their office equipment during the Christmas period, claiming that the festive season traditionally leads to a 25 per cent hike in service calls due to incidents such as the classic backside copying prank.

Such a stunt, a popular mainstay of the office party, often results in cracked glass on the copier, with 32 per cent of Canon technicians claiming to have been called out to fix glass plates during the Christmas period after attempts to copy body parts went wrong.

Tim Andrews, a Canon employee from London, said: "We always fit lots of new glass to copiers after New Year due to 'rear-end copying'."

In fact, Canon claims a shocking 46 per cent of service calls are in response to non-work-related breakages.

The infamous SNL skit that featured a specialized copier with a suggestive impression ...

I think the funniest reference I've heard to this kind of thing is from "Tales of the City", where an ad-agency employee who is caught, um, misusing the office copier is accuse of "false advertising" -- since he hit the "enlarge" button.
