It was pink because it was part of a carbon copy form. You write on the top sheet of paper and then you get 3 copies of what you wrote, one for the employee and 2 for other records. Carbon copy paper was very popular before you could just print 3 copies of something.
It may be 5 sheets, as this one is marked "5 To Worker"
Yup, that’s also why it’s so blurry; As the pressure moves through each sheet of paper, it gets more and more spread out. You could technically dial up the tension on your typewriter to make more copies, but they would still end up blurry as the paper spread out the force of the impact.
Good observation, I haven't seen more than a 5 part form but it might be possible, I have seen 5 part carbon copies though.
Mortgage forms have like a million parts
Ohh I thought it was something to do with sexy underwear. This actually makes a lot more sense.
Explain your logic further please
a pink slip would be feminine underwear, similar to a negligee :)
Sure, but why would they think their boss would give them that kind of pink slip?
it's likely that they didn't actually believe that, given the very explicit image and explanation. They were almost certainly just being humorous because of the dual nature of the word.
Because it's a roundabout form of humor it might not be accessible to everyone.
British humour innit mate. Remember where we are.
Wait until you learn about where the term "redneck" actually originated.
Don't keep us in suspense!
Well, it was because the farmers and working man always had a red neck from sun exposure. And then in the coal mining days- this is my favorite part- unionizing workers would tie red bandanas around their necks to show solidarity. These are the men and boys who literally fought and died for our rights as workers. They were shot, even bombed, because they banded together to stand up to the coal companies. This caused the propaganda machines to start turning the masses against the term redneck. They stole the word and turned it into a synonym for ignorance and bigotry.
People often speak about unions and their ties to the mob. But they fail to realize that this was done out of necessity for survival. Literally. Slavery didn't stop at the civil war. And ever since, we've been made to fight one another.
But even the rich vs poor fight is merely a construct built to divide us. The fact of the matter is that some people are just cruel monsters, and the rest of us have been so scared of them that we let them take the reigns from us. We were so afraid of being the one to stand up that we've allowed everyone around us to be forced to their knees.
And now we're looking for anyone to blame but ourselves.
Ok I gotta get off this toilet, but I hope that clears things up :-)
Slavery didn’t stop at the civil war. And ever since, we’ve been made to fight one another.
The rich orchestrating the fighting between us did not start at the civil war. In the US, it goes all the way back to the colonies.
I get what you're saying, and I'm not denying it, I'm simply stating that the point at which most people would associate with the end of slavery in this country was nothing more than yet another shifting of the definitions. Obviously prior to slavery proper there were many forms of coerced or indentured servitude, serfdom, what have you. It predates the colonies. It predates mankind.
Shot and bombed, oh yeah, and they and their families were SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE
People fail to realize how truly RUTHLESS some mother fuckers are. And they expect to just live a peaceful life while these bastards are around.
Yep I heard the second one. Really neat story
