I just bent a paper clip in to an unusual shape.

That's nothing!

I just moved a crisp bag to one side to make room for a banana.

I made sure the crisp bag was empty first of course, and carried out a risk assessment for the operation, to ensure that nobody would get hurt.

Bugger,

I've just been advised that as the bag was on my desk, I should have applied for a "working at height" permit.

By the way Marcus. Great post.

Did the paper clip resemble an amateur radio ariel, mine usually do.

Would that be more, or less, unusual than the shape it started out as?

I have found that a large paperclip bent to a certain shape 'a U' can be used to extract certain sterios from cars ( with users permision both the car and the paperclip owner )

Btter still, bend a paperclip to a u shape (a small clip), and fire them at people using the old elastic band on fingers catapult technique.

If you're always preaching professionalism in the workplace (as I do), then no-one will suspect you!

But everyone is missing out on a very important by-product of paper clip bending. The smell.
Bend a paper clip a few times, it matters not what shape you end up with, and then sniff it. And your fingers......


Suggestions on what your fingers smell of on a post(card).

I've just raked me ring a bit and, well, the fingers are not for sniffing. The dog likes it mind....

Bent paper clip ? Perfect for putting in the fuel pump nozzle whilst filling up, saves having too squeeze the trigger........
