I used to put on my annual tax law mailing there would be a penalty for using staples.  Everyone understood it to be a joke except one lady who called me up all pissed off.  What right do I have to charge a penalty for using a stapler.  The following year she bought me a 10-pack of paper clips as a gift.

Usually, most of the paper clips I get from clients get pitched as I am going through their stuff.  Some of them are rusty since I think they came over on the Mayflower.  Others are so small that they are useless other than "clipping" one piece of paper.  I also hate the ones with the "serrated" edges that lock on to paper like vise grips.  I only use the smooth jumbo paper clips, anything else is useless to me.  But in the future, instead of filling the local landfill I'll start throwing them in the "Jim" box and send them to you once the box is full 😉

Now that thought is downright scary 😱

RE: *** IRonMaN - you and I should be married.  We're the same person.

I vaguely remembered that the guidelines of this community (which I had to sign off for joining)  included "flirting is allowed, but marriage proposals are strictly prohibited.)  Or was it the guidelines for my other group?

I just hope that he wasn't kneeling when he made that proposal.  With all of the paper clips scattered all over, he could have hurt himself kneeling on the floor.

I like to paper clip all of the good sujestions I get from intuit. Needless to say I only need a very small clip.
