Fun with Kinko's

daddytoddKinko's employees are moronic fuckwits, as we already knew. I was
trying to print some big B&W posters on the "plotter" -- it's a
printer that prints big B&W prints.
The idjut assisting me tried printing the poster like 5 times (on 36"x50" paper) and every time it printed about 3/4 of the image, then just stopped... He tried everything; printing out smaller copies (worked fine.) So I had to go to another Kinko's to get them done (they should be finished in another hour, so I have to go back).
Here's a small version of the poster
After looking at the poster about a zillion times the fuckwit asked (and I swear to Buddah this is true) "In he a wrestler?" I wanted to say, "He doesn't know how, but he can teach you how to play naked twister... or butt darts!"*
But I didn't have the balls to actually say it.
*based on lyrics from Kendall's song "Hot Drunk Guys".
