Eco-machine transforms office memos into toilet treats
The current mainstream trend in Japan is to figure out how to label nearly every action, thing or event with the "Eco" tag, as in ecologically friendly. But one company may have gone too far with the introduction of a machine that actually recycles used office paper into toilet paper.
The hulking contraption, created by Nakabayashi corporation, is set to be made available for commercial sale in August for about $95,000. Despite its environmentally friendly yet creepy dynamics, any device that gives cubicle underlings the opportunity to literally wipe themselves with the bossman's memo is bound to be a success in the long run.

Whoe, that's one expensive butt-wipe. I can see office managers asking, " Are you sure you really need to take a dump?" and office workers reporting an alarming rise of medical insurance filings for lower GIs because it's better to hold it in then to appear that they are wasting company expendables. Or something like that.

First thing that comes to mind is that memos have staples in them...

Dough! We use the bosses memo to wipe our bums with all ready. Don’t need the machine for that.
