We received a strange FAX today. All it said was, "Help".
Bossman had the police investigate.
Seems that a local business was trying out new FAX lines, transposed two numbers and we got the funny inter-office FAX, albeit in a completely different building!
We had fun making up stories on why a person would send out a FAX asking for help.
"Maybe they are stuck in a room - as a hostage - with nothing but a FAX machine."
"Why don't they use the FAX machine to call 911 and ask for help?"
"Maybe the FAX machine only sends FAX's."
"Maybe they are being held as a hostage and this was all they could do."
"Maybe..."
"Maybe..."
"Maybe it's a joke."
"Why would anyone send out a 'crank-FAX'?"
"Like a crank phone call?"
"Yeah. Why would anyone do that? That's dumb"
Maybe someone really does need help!"
