A friend told me of  guy who prided him on the white shirt and tie sort 
of dress code
despite it being unnecessary at a place he worked.  People would just 
shake their
heads and just let it go.

One morning, a lady he worked with stopped him short of going into a 
room where
the printer were, and a burster.  "Johnny (or whatever)" is in there, 
you don't want
to go in.

He peeked in and a burster had shot carbon paper from about half a case 
of 4 ply
all over the room and he was having to pick up the mess.

thanks
