If God Wanted Me To Be Green I'd Look Like This Guy



Yeah, so according to something called The Internet, today is Earth Day.  But I work in an office, which as much as we would like to be green, we aren't.  Why?

Paper.  Lots and lots of paper.

We can't help it.  We are an office.  We print forms, faxes, e-mails, messages, and coupons from Barnes & Noble.  If it isn't written down, it doesn't exist.

Sure, we have computers with endless amounts of data on it, but I have seen movies.  Lots of movies where computers fail or people hack them or they send killer machines back in time to murder the savior of humanity.

So I print*.  And I will continue to print until someone proves to me Skynet won't happen.

* I do, however, make sure to recycle all the paper I don't need.  So I guess I am a kinda green.  Like this guy:

Green guy has a nice paper wad.

Just saying.

What?

The Office Scribe said...

Wow Ed.

Wow.

Momma Fargo said...

Ed, why you lookin' there? LOL.

Ed said...

Okay, that was supposed to be a joke. There just wasn't a lot in the post to work with.

The Office Scribe said...

Instead of going with the killer robot joke you went with the junk joke. Wow.

Ed said...

I thought you covered the killer robot joke well.

However, you left the junk totally exposed.

Not to be a kill-joy, but getting back to green.....I get the office thing, but we still printed WAY too much stuff at ours because of "what-if"'s that never happened. There's got to be a better way....of course, another way to look at it is that the earth is fixin' to fly apart anyways,
so who cares? (just kidding)
Now, if we could only get people to turn off their faucets while they're brushing their teeth......

The Office Scribe said...

I just stopped brushing my teeth all together, which makes both me, and my teeth, kinda green...

Skynet - *chuckles*
Thank God The Office didn't try to indoctrinize us this year.

Our city is about to either ban or tax plastic bags in stores... care to make this interesting as to which one they'll choose? If you're willing to bet they'll just ban them, then I've got a horse to sell you.

I am trying not to press the print button, but it's kind a leap of faith and I do feel that the guy in the green suit looks like a dodo.

Pat said...

Back to the guy in the green suit. How does that man breathe? I'd get claustrophobic! That almost looks like one of those latex sex suits doesn't it? What? You've never seen one before? Oh.

Nine Mile said...

Yet another green man sighting. Who knew that there were more of these guys?

The Office Scribe said...

I love Green Man. A friend went as Green Man a few years ago for Halloween and it was awesome. Much better than my slightly dated Mr. Hanky costume.

Nine Mile said...

Who is Greenman? have I been living under my rock again?

Also, I saw a pic of a supercool Awesome-O costume the other day.
