Rip City

Stop me if you've heard this one:

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5:45 p.m. when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine, "I just need one copy."

I think I worked for that CEO back in the Nineties. He was a living demonstration of why so many universities offer MBA programs: so the serious party animals get something from eight years of keggers besides a coke habit and syphilis.
