How to fubar a mil-spec printer
About 40 years ago, we had this mil-spec printer that was being used in a failing project (that's another story). For some reason, it had to be shipped to another location. An army fellow arrived and put it in his truck. Concerned that it might bounce around, he put a sandbag on it (evidently not realizing that this would raise the center of gravity and make it more likely to fall over, though as things turned out, that would have been a blessing). The sandbag just happened to be torn and leaking sand. The printer was sealed EXCEPT for the slot on the top that paper came out of - you can guess what happened.
