Photocopy or Duplicate Lore:

Almost anyone working at a public agency, school or office has some knowledge of "Xerox Lore"-- the commoImage of Xerox collected from local teachern name applied to photocopied or duplicated graphics and/or text passed from office to office. Most seem to deal with sex, current affairs or work problems. Quite a few are anti-man, politically incorrect, and darn funny. I collected the attached lore example from a local secondary school teacher. As you can tell from the condition of the copy, it has been duplicated a number of times. The sheet sarcastically exclaims: "Children, tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act Now! Move out, get a job, pay your own bills, while you still know everything."
