I didn’t know it was possible to write 4,000 words about paper jams and the people that work on them, but I’m so happy I do now. This is so geeky.

Jamming happens whenever something that’s supposed to flow through a space fails to do so, perhaps because of overcrowding, or bending, or because its constant movement degrades the space through which it travels.
