Is he iterating or reiterating?

Putting up all those fliers is tacky.

ok, so the reward is a stolen photo copier___

Sometimes you don’t realize how great it is to have something until you don’t have it.

I think it just took off on its own; it found the job very repetitive.

Good thing he didn’t add an artist’s rendering of the missing copier to each poster..

Email wouldn’t help?

And now his pen keeps running out of cyan.

He’s lucky he had enough paper on hand for this mission. Based on the level of intelligence he’s displaying here, he’s probably the genius who (before the copier was stolen) would take his last blank sheet of paper and put it on the machine so he could run off copies of it.

You’d think he’d write them all before putting them up.
