Yesterday I read a collection of stories (The Invasion of the Road Weenies). One of the stories was about a boy who sits on a copy machine and the surprising result. It's a J(juvenile) rated book. Sort of mini-Twilight Zone stories for kids. Your comment reminded me of that story....

It was an old Southernism, famous quote. But those short stories like that were fun when I was a kid. I remember a book from the '90s or something called "Stories to Tell in the Dark" or like that. It was fun.
