A Blonde Moment

A blonde moment has striked yet again on Voldy!!

As we all know, the printed receipts, is normally very light possibly from old cartridges that has past due for change; but the company stamp at the bottom of the receipt is very dark because of the excess ink from the stamp pad.

One day, Voldy wants to get her receipt photostated for her record. However, her photocopy result is showing only the stamp & not the printed info on the receipt. So she approached me - the "ever helpful" friend to help. I thought it was a piece of cake... I'll just need to adjust the contrast on the photostat machine.

Happily we walked to the darn machine and open the top of the copier to place the receipts on the screen. Voldy was happily arranging the 2 small pieces of receipts on the glass screen when I stared at it speachless...

It turns out, I don't need to show her how to adjust the contrast after all... Voldy has placed the receipts the wrong side up! The copier was working fine as it copies only the stamp ink that can be seen through the receipts, but the rest of the printed info naturally was not copied.

"Err... Voldy... Your receipts are placed the wrong side up???"

Voldy laughed hysterically; while I'm left dazed by the classic blonde moment courtesy of Voldy!

Moral of the story? Make sure you have your blonde moments only in front of those who doesn't write blogs... :-)

p/s : No offence to the blondes out there... & if it is any consolation, the person committing this "offence" has hair as black as coal! Talk about contrast!
