Approximately Seven...

[Three girls are working on a project on a computer in the school library. They start to print their project, and walk over to the community printer to get it. The printer begins to print page after page of text, the girls, knowing that it's not what they meant to print, pick up the papers and see that they are overdue book reports. They stand waiting for their project to begin printing, checking each page and laying it aside. After about fifty pages have printed, the librarian (who's been watching intently from behind the counter disgruntedly) walks over to the girls at the printer.]

Librarian(accusingly): Girls, how many trees do we insist on killing here?!?
[Picks up papers and fans them out.]
Librarian: Oh, these are mine.
[Takes papers hurriedly and walks away.]
