A young executive was leaving the office of a major corporation late one evening when he found the CEO himself standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. 

Eager to make a good impression, the young exec introduced himself and asked if he could be of any help. 

"Why yes," said the CEO, holding up the piece of paper. "This is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?" 

"Certainly," said the young executive, happy for a chance to help the boss. The young man turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

 "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I'll need two copies."
