A company found it was receiving so much junk mail via the fax that its fax machine was continually tied up and no one was able to use it. Realising that just one marketing company was responsible for these faxes, the manager phoned that company and told the person who answered to remove his company's fax number from their database. However, when a week went by and the faxes had not stopped coming, the manager came up with a bright idea. He printed a page with the word "Virus" written in large letters on it and a second page with a picture of a skull and crossbones. He waited for a space between incoming faxes, placed the first page in the fax and then taped the second page to it to form a continuous loop. He then sent this everlasting fax to the marketing company and left the office for the weekend.
