Kate , will you please make ten copies of this report ?   I'd like to , but the photocopier is out of order .   Then use the xerox machine .   It broke down one year ago .   Oh , forget it then . Hey , I told you to put the files on the in tray , not on my desk .   The pile is over ten feet high . I am afraid it will fall all over and bury you underneath it if I put this file on top of it .
