A Xerox is a copier

9. Throw this frisbee, and have a popsicle

(popsicle tends to surprise a lot of people)

Of course, where I grew up, "coke" counts as a generic brand.

"Want a coke?"

"Sure, what kind you got?"

"Pepsi, sprite, or root beer."

11. The buggy whip of copying devices.

[Recursion]

12. Interestingly, Xerox is moving out of the copier business

Well, not that they won't still make copiers; their growth market is now the whole "value added" document-management system. Essentially, selling business processes to pointy-haired bosses.

And if you can sell a process to pointy-haired boss, you will make more money than Croesus.
