Quote by Steven Wright

I xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra xerox machine.

I xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra xerox machine.

Summary

This quirky quote plays with the idea of duplicating items through the use of a xerox machine. It humorously suggests that by xeroxing a mirror, instead of obtaining a copy of the mirror itself, it created another xerox machine. The quote doesn't take itself seriously and injects a touch of absurdity into the simple act of using a copier, highlighting the unexpected and sometimes illogical outcomes that can occur through unconventional thinking or experimentation.

If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.'
