New stupid photo story

The film costs just a bit over 10 dollars a roll and that should be fine for the two projects in Photography with enough to spare for some of Colour Theory. They also have the RA paper. 50 sheets (the only size they had) is $22.49. The film is behind the desk (you need to ask for it) and the paper is located in the fridge by the digital photography stuff.
Since most of the people at school have heard the story about the students who split up a pack of Polymax paper in the caf and ruined the whole package, so here's a new photography urban legend:
---
A man walks into a photo store and picks up a box of Kodak Polymax B&W paper. With box in hand, he walks up to the cashier.
"Is this photo paper?" The man asks the cashier.
"It is." The cashier replies.
Happy that he has found what he wants, the man buys the box of photo paper and leaves.
A week later the man comes back to the store and is very upset.
"There's something wrong with this paper!" The man explains to the cashier.
"What's wrong with it?" asks the cashier.
"I use the paper normally, but then a little while later it turns PURPLE!"
The cashier pauses to think, but can't figure out what's wrong. "Just what are you doing with the paper?"
"I'm using it to print photos with my inkjet printer."
---
Sure, some people will say "that poor man was just confused". As confusing as photography is, it's VERY hard to mix up printer paper and Polymax paper (does anyone else notice that RC Polymax paper has a certian smell to it?). All the warnings on the package and the black plastic bag used to store the paper should have been enough to tip the person off that something was wrong. Idiot.
