I just heard a news report which mentioned Trump planning to hold a rally in Pennsylvania to benefit Republicans. No, Mr. Reporter, Trump holds rallies to benefit _himself_. Anyone else present is entirely ancillary. ---

Xeroxes don’t have any smell. No fun. Sorry – you’re confusing mimeographs with Ditto copies (properly a Spirit Duplicator, which sounds like something a Medium should be using to publicize messages from Beyond the Grave). Dittos were the ones that used the odiferous fluid. Mimeos don’t really have much of an odor at all. Mimeos are generally black.

I used to show this short clip from [Fast Times at Ridgemont High](https://youtu.be/Uu3iCvAQCHg) in one of college “Intro to Computers” class. At one time it was a required class for nearly everyone at our community college, so I had students of all ages. I joked that I could tell how old a student was if they got the joke. Sometimes I would ask someone who laughed to explain what was so funny to the younger students: “Before copy machines were common…” ---
