high capacity clip

Thank you RPB, I just spit my drink all over my new "Annoy a Liberal" tshirt. I'm sending you the cleaning bill.

What's next, outlawing staples????????

THAT was Easy.

At my job we have one of those clipless fastener thingys that uses the paper itself to fasten all the pages together. I have gotten numberous papercuts and those are agony. I think the next step is to outlaw the paper.

what's in the water in England that's causing this epidemic of stupidity?

Hah!

I'm injured far more often by staples that aren't quite completely crimped, than by paper clips. And I still have a slight grey mark on my little finger from grade school where a little girl stabbed me with a pencil. I don't remember why, but I probably deserved it!

I still have a tiny speck of pencil lead in my hand from when I was stabbed with a pencil (ok, I stabbed myself by accident) in elementary school. The tip of the pencil broke off and it's been there ever since. You can even see it under the skin.

So, yeah, those pencils are pretty dangerous. While we're at it, we should outlaw pens, too. And silverware in the cafeteria. Kids should only be allowed plastic sporks.

are they going to ban 3 ring binders too. I think ive snapped myself with those a few times.
