Combined with today’s critical need of having to be "politically correct", the importance of good, clean, proper FAX etiquette is Expresially crucial. Here now is your Expres Guide to Safe FAX.

Q: Marriage and Safe FAX: Is it true that I have to be married in order to have safe FAX?

A: No, of course not! While things used to be different during the time of Copyism, that you had to be married in order to FAX with the blessings of the State; thankfully, those days were shredded many years ago.

While there is no question that married people do indeed FAX, there are still plenty of single people out there who also FAX - and enjoy it.

Q: Both of my parents have told me that when they were young, they never had any FAX. Instead, both of them had to walk five kilometers through the rain and snow, just to pass a simple note to each other.

A: Obviously, with today’s technology, FAXing each other has never been easier. However, as with everything, a person must be responsible.

Don’t just FAX to be FAXing.

Q: Is is true that if I FAX just myself, that I can go blind?

A: No, this is NOT true, and it was not even true under the times of either Copyism or Snotzism!

There is no medical evidence that a person has ever gone blind FAXing themselves.

This has even been confirmed recently after a detailed study of the American expat community here in Prague, who are known for FAXing themselves as many as three times above the statistical daily average compared to every other group.

It’s a control thing, although let us be perfectly clear: these expats do NOT like Copyism.

Q: If I just want a quick FAX, or have a FAX for a whole hour or night, is this even legal?

A: It all depends on where you decide to do your FAXing. The rules for FAXing are different throughout the EU.

In Amsterdam, you can FAX practically anything, anywhere, although we wouldn’t and do not, recommend it.

Here in Prague, we don’t know of any place where we can go have a good FAX, because we use email.

Q: Should a person always use a cover sheet whenever they are FAXing?

A: It’s always best to be safe when FAXing. If you really know who you are FAXing, then it is probably OK not to use a cover sheet.

Q: What happens if I accidentally FAX before I really wanted to, you know, prematurely?

A: Don’t worry, according to medical science, it just means that you are normal! There is nothing wrong with being excited over FAXing someone.

Remember, this technology was not invented to bore people.

If you find out that you have accidentally FAXed prematurely, don’t worry! Most people certainly won’t mind if you go ahead and FAX them again.
