Office exchange of the day 
Telephone solicitor calls the office; we're supposed to get rid of them, but the employee who answers this particular phone call is being polite. Solicitor is pitching their document-related services—I don't know exactly what, probably copying and filing and storing and so on.
Solicitor: What kind of business are you in?

Employee: Electronic publishing.

S: Oh, so you must have a lot of documents.

E: No, actually, hardly any.

S: Really?

E: Really. It's electronic publishing.
And that was the end of that phone call. We really do have an almost-entirely-paperless office; for 14 employees and 20 computers, there's only one printer, a fax machine that doesn't work, and no copier. I don't think my computer is even connected to the printer; I haven't tried to print anything since we moved into the new office in January. The key word is, indeed, electronic.
