Johannes Gutenberg: I've invented this printing press.
Printing press: You're out of magenta.
@MostlyHarmless Colour printer manufacturers: you are out of magenta, and no you can't print in greyscale until you buy another magenta cartridge.
@MostlyHarmless
Pope Nicholas V: you didn't invent anything and after Fust and Schöffer take everything you have to pay your debts, they'll still continue to print hundreds of thousand of indulgences I can sell for real currency. Much more lucrative than the few dozen handwritten ones I used to sell to finance my wars. And that bible you've made will never sell, no one can read.

It's funny because it's true.

@MostlyHarmless this is both hilarious, and sad. I bought a brother black and white laser printer a few years back just so I can stop having this problem. It's solid and reliable and the trade-off was not having color, which was really not an issue in the end.
