Sentence: Lewis didn't didn't care that he was burning through reams of paper for he was an InkJedi. He was saving the company e-files from the dark force that causes documents to go stale if they sit too long on the server. Forget that most of this stuff should have deleted soon after it was created, Lewis kept himself busy lining his squirrel's nest of an office with papers he could never find if he had to. It made him feel at one with the Force even if it kept him from getting any real work done.

Etymology: ink-jet (a printer in which the characters are formed by minute jets of ink) Jedi (a member of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films, trained to guard peace and justice in the the universe)
