This is a question Stupid Colleagues

Godwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

I worked for the publishers of the Hull equivalent of the Yellow Pages. For a couple of weeks, we had a work experience kid come in. In the canteen one lunchtime, he said about how expensive it must be to print it on yellow paper and they should use white paper instead.

Oh how we laughed when we realised he wasn't kidding and we had to explain to him that it WAS printed on white paper and the yellow was printed on later leaving spaces for the other colours so they would appear true rather than tainted as they would if printed on yellow paper.

....would have been cheaper not print 80% of the page yellow, just leave it white.
