Yes it works!

I saw this printer sitting out on the street a few weeks ago. I love the subtle irony here, assuming that the sign was actually printed with the printer being tossed. It’s decent irony, but not perfect irony. (For the record, this is perfect irony – Billionaire roofing exec dies after fall through roof.)

As a sidenote, when I was processing the photo for the web I noticed that there was something printed on the back of the sign. After flipping the image and bumping up the contrast, (as well as saying the word “ENHANCE” a few times), we’re offered a fascinating glimpse into the first draft of this sign. It basically just said the word “WORKS” broken up onto two lines. Why do you think they changed it?

  6. they probably wrote YES IT WORKS from the start but the font was too big and the whole sentence didn’t fit the page so they thought … WOW that was stupid! … n they decreased the font n printed it again on the same paper…as paper is very expensive these days… what suggests they could be Jewish ..(jk)
