Me. I don't know. You, ask them for nice dinners, but them jewelry and protect their integrity.

Why do you say chief? Do you do that in real life? Or is that just some passive aggressive thing you do on the internet? Seems you have a purpose behind it as you did it two times. I just don't know why.

They usually lump all or ours together due at the same time. So I'm having to spend hours watching fire safety videos made in the late 80s, compliance videos, sexual harassment videos, and then the hipaa videos on top of medical related ones on preventing needlesticks, etc. I can't help but be lulled into boredom by all that, any person would

Fax is ideal in medical situations bc it avoids the mutli-step process of login open print sign scan create send etc

I would rather stick it on a fax and hit a button and leave, versus put it on the same machine, scan, save file, attach and send to an email address.

I love how so many people think faxing is harder when scanning is just faxing but with more steps.

So I guess no one is going to address the picture that ELLSUU posted?

So...who is that lovely woman?

Alabama Fax Girl 2012: Tide Rolls Again with Shapely Signing Day Assistant

National signing day: The one time a year the fax machine, that antiquated, dusty, old warhorse of office equipment, gets its revival, swapping NLI's and 17-year-old's signatures across the country as college superfans celebrate landing the newest 5-star. Email? Please.

It's the same from Gainesville to Phoenix; South Bend to Southern Cal. Faxes get sent, faxes get received. Not in Tuscaloosa, though, not in the houndstoothed land of tradition and BCS titles and smoking hot Southern Belles.

Nope, they've got the infamous "Fax Girl." And an iteration of that set-the-Internet-on-fire trend is back for 2012.

Thank you. Roll Tide.

While this year's version looks as shapely as expected, it's not quite as official as 2011, when the actual university itself had a gorgeous COED assisting on a live stream that got them in some hot water. Apparently, a rival (read: jealous) school didn't like the idea of being upstaged.

So, while the school itself may have gone the boring route, BAMS radio picked up on the idea and have been rolling with it all day, broadcasting a live stream of their own, complete with houndstooth-mini skirts. (Bear Bryant would be so proud.) From ibtimes.com:

For the past two years the University of Alabama had employed an attractive young female to collect the faxed-in Letters of Intent and post them on the big board. But last year a fellow SEC school complained to SEC commissioner Mike Slive about the fax cam girl and Alabama was told that it couldn't continue the tradition.

That's where BAMS Radio comes in.

The twice-weekly, Internet radio station decided that someone had to fill the void of the fax cam girl and employed two female students to work National Signing Day coverage.

Then a Tennessee radio station presented their own Fax Girl the next year:

Her gums have a forehead.

Yeah she wasn't that good looking...

but you have to understand that in Alabama and any female with more than 3 teeth is considered a 10.
