Back in the 1960s we could clip almost anything we wanted to anything else--without fear of anything more than possibly having a small note appear unexpectedly from the union of full sheets. It was the decade of free-clips, and we lived it with wild bureaucratic abandon. Then it all changed. The world became aware that unprotected clipping could have lifelong consequences. It could even be fatal. After being passed from hand, to hand, to hand, there was no telling what sort of dangerous stuff could get onto clips. The era of risk-free multiple clipping was over ... or so we thought. Sure, many of us took the conservative approach and tried staples but it just wasn't the same. One wham-bam-thank-you-Sam application and it was a permanent bond that would be right in the eyes of society (or so they tried to tell us), but they didn't say anything about the lifetime scars that would be left, or how messy a separation would be if we found that two sheets were just not meant to be together. But now, thank the heavens, we have VINYL COATED paper clips. Sure, the tactile sensation is not the same cool and slick feeling as the chrome-plated steel of days gone by, but what price safe clipping, eh? It's a change we can all live with. As an added bonus, they come in exciting pastel colors! What document could resist that? The paperwork now comes to me by the sheaf, and I'm loving it! Is this a wonderful country, or what?!
