I got this recently from a source I can't find. But it was fun and addressed
a subject that always baffled me with its flagrant incorrectness.

Rather than repeating "This page intentionally left blank," whoever wrote
the
"Lunar-Mars Life Support Test Project: Phase III Final Report" got creative:

* The relative blankness of this page in no way diminishes its
usefulness in
the report.

* Blank page prevention words.

* With these words, this page is no longer blank but is complete.

* This sentence lets you know this page was not a mistake.

* This almost blank page was intentional.

* This page intentionally left unblank.

* Despite these words, this page is blank.

* Without this mostly blank page, the following text would be on the
wrong
side of the paper.

So ... for those of you still doing print manuals - what DO you do in this
case?
