5000 Staples
Today is a momentous day for me. I never thought I could do it, but now I know my true potential. I finally emptied my box of staples! I’ve had this box for over 20 years. Its possible other staples made their way into my stapler, but this box just stuck around, and now I’m wondering, did I really staple 5000 things??. I was a little sad to toss the box into the recycle, ergo this little tribute to my box of staples.
But then!! as I grabbed my stapler to put the final strip in, I realized the stapler is even older than the box!! My dad gave me the stapler when I was a tiny tot. Other staplers have come and gone, but like the old box, this stapler just stuck around… and mainly because it’s always proven to be the best and it doesn’t jam up like many other crappy ones. And because I lose things faster than anyone I know, this is a small miracle.
Here’s my old stapler and now empty box of staples:
