You know you've been around fandom too long when you explain an issue with the photocopier thus: "It'll staple things if you put them through the copier, but not if you send them from your computer, using it as a printer - it's a physical problem, the printing goes through a different part of the machine than the copies." And then you almost, ALMOST continue, "It's kind of like mpreg..."

Thank god for talkative people who barely let me get a sentence out before interrupting again, that's all.

(But it would've been a nigh-on perfect analogy.)
