We used to keep a binder where I use to work for the inexperienced with samples of jobs, plate and proofing problems known as the W.I.T.H.I.T. (What In The Hell Is That)

Sometimes just saying anything in reply like Beavis and Butthead drives people here crazy. Example, "We need it on press in an hour!" reply "Ummm, huh, huh, huh, ummm. Is this like hot or something?"

Pretty much any response more moronic than their question should do the trick.

New one I used this morning for a quote request with NO specs...

Dear xxxx,

How many toppings (ie. copies) would you like on that pizza.... and what kind of crust (ie. stock)?




I love it... "I want something.... don't know what... but I want something... and I'm not sure how many..... any idea how much it'll be?" :roll:

[zoondoggie]

My main standby is "You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first"
