Are There Ants Living In Your All-In-One Printer/Scanner System?

Not to sound exactly like the late local news at about the fifteen-minute mark right before the weather, but there's this guy who had ants in his home office and he was wondering where they were coming from and his wife looked in his printer/scanner thing and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It could happen to you:

Yes, it would be fun if he had turned on his scanner, but he didn't and we have to accept that he said something really funny at the end instead. The same thing happened to me when I was 11, but instead of my office it was my garage, and instead of ants it was maggots, and instead of being in a printer they were in my guinea pig's cage, and instead of being in the scanner part of the printer they were in my guinea pig, who was dead. (RIP Ariel. I hardly fed ye.)

I can't believe this guy didn't know that that's how scanners work. You just have to learn not to disturb the Scanner Ants and they will continue to scan stuff. I made the same mistake with my fax machine and now the millipedes in there refuse to send documents.

Well, that was more horrifying than I thought it would be.
