Y'see, I'm anal about that kind of thing myself. Don't overstretch the little ones, don't waste the big ones on little documents... that kind of thing. Then again, I got in trouble once for mailing them--true, it was several sheafs of documents going overseas, so would add too much weight, but come on! :)
At the White House Drug Policy office back in 1998 when it was headed by a retired four-star general, one day we had a called, scheduled 20 minute meeting on which the boss preferred more on documents: paper clips or staples.
I am suddenly picturing a spoof of the incident with a huge prop paper clip. One that's even bigger than the papers which it is holding. Well, if someone is gonna be silly about it, one may as well have the better punchline.
You *gotta* be effin kidding me! Have any of you thought about adding some stool softner to his coffee so he can jettison that stick he's managed to shove up his ass so deep??
So I surfed over here from jennil's journal and this entry made me laugh so hard I almost cried. Just from sheer bloody frustration because it sounds SO much like something that would happen at my job. I friended you - if that's not cool, let me know and I'll remove you.
