Really, anybody who has ever had to work with a cantankerous copy machine knows that it will only cooperate when you are very nice to it.

Cars always run better after they've been waxed.

When the toaster breaks, so does the refrigerator and the clothes washer.

I don't think I ever would have been aware of the enormity of it all if you had not posted what you just have.
