I received the following as an anonymous photocopy, but in the interests of
education felt it deserved widespread publicity.
GUIDE TO SAFE FAX
Q. Do I have to be married to have safe fax?
R. Although married people fax quite often, there are many single people who fax
complete strangers every day.
S. My parents say they never had fax when they were young and were only allowed
to write memos to each other till they were twenty-one. How old do you think
someone should be before they can fax?
T. Faxing can be performed at any age, once you learn the correct procedure.
U. If I fax by myself will I go blind?
V. Certainly not, as far as we can see.
W. There is a place on our street where you can go and pay for fax. Is
this legal?
X. Yes, many people have no outlet for their fax needs and must pay a
“professional.”
Y. Should a cover always be used for faxing?
Z. Unless you are really sure of the one you are faxing, a cover sheet should
always be used to ensure safe fax.
Z. What happens when I incorrectly do the procedure, and I fax prematurely?
Z. Don’t panic. Many people prematurely fax when they haven’t faxed in a long
time. Just start all over. Most people won’t mind if you try again.
Z. I have a personal and a business fax. Can the transmission become mixed up?
Z. Being bi-faxual can be confusing, but as long as you use a cover with each
one, you won’t transmit anything you’re not supposed to.
