RJ and Ink
|
It all started this morning when I said, "Would you please move the printer over to the Inn, so I can hook it up to the guest computer?" "Sure, honey," RJ said. Later in the day, after cleaning a room and my kitchen, I came back to the "little" house to find RJ watching a football game. "I couldn't find the printer cable for the HP," he stated. "That cord was connected to nothing." He pointed to the HP cord that lay across my desk. "It doesn't fit." "It says HP on it," I said. "It doesn't fit." "That printer use to be here before this new one." "I don't remember that printer being here." I picked up the cord. "If you want to try it, be my guest." I rolled it up and placed it on the counter to take over to the Inn. I know it will fit because I'm the one who took it apart in the first place. Little did I know that the next time I would find RJ, he would up to his elbows in printer ink. Our guests arrived and while I was touring them around, RJ came out to meet them. His hands were black. He started to go on about how the ink had spilled and was all over the table and he had to use almost a whole roll of paper towels trying to absorb the ink and wipe up whatever had slipped. Our guest was very helpful and offered a suggestion to RJ's ink dilemma. He told him his mantra was, "Sorry, dear. I didn't mean to do it and I'll never do it again." That was his wisdow from 32 years of marriage. RJ laughed. That's been his mantra for the last 37 years! But the suggestion of what happened to the ink is actually possible. Perhaps the ink had sprayed the back of the printer and over time it pooled in the bottom so when RJ tipped the printer when he moved it from the office desk to the guest computer desk., the ink poured out of the bottom. He said it looked like an artery ruptured. It just keep running, and running, and running! This made sense since there was some residual ink on my lateral file cabinet and all over the inside of the printer case. So there was RJ - hands covered in black inn, grumbling about it not coming off. Our guest, an elementary school teacher, told RJ that he will grow out of it. She may be right. The black ink is going nowhere soon. |
