Excuse me, I'd like to send a FAX but please make a copy of it first because I need to keep a copy.
...I'll be giving the original back to you after I FAX it
No, you don't understand, I need to send the FAX.
... I understand perfectly sir. You give me the document, I FAX it, then I give it back to you. No copy needed.
But the FAX machine rolls up the document real tiny and shoots it through a tube accross the country to the other FAX machine. Do you mean they will make a copy at their end and send it back?
... ... No, what I.. ... let me explain... ...Yes sir, that's what I mean.
