The AnswerBank Editor's Question Of The Week

[AB Editor]

Dear All,

Amongst the fan-mail we receive we do, on occasion, receive an email asking us directly for an answer. As, quite frankly, you're all much smart than us, we thought we'd pass our favourite of this week on to you all.

(Names have been changes to cover any embarrassment)



From: Ada Ministration

"My office stapler is stapling two staples instead of one what should I do to rectify this defect please?"



Best answer will, sadly, not receive a prize - the winner will however receive a special place in my heart.

Spare Ed

[squarebear]

"borrow" the stapler from the desk next to you.

[Mamyalynne]

Be proud that your papers are more secure than the next persons.

[redman41]

Tell her to put it on a Staple diet Ed !

''"My office stapler is stapling two staples instead of one''

'one for each eyeball then. Now s0d off and stop wasting my time'...

[redcrx]

defect? thats not a defect its a message from God
Weve all heard of Jesus feeding the five thousand with just a couple of loaves and fishes, well God has chosen you to go forth and help those without staples.
Be strong my friend, for Gods Will cannot be ignored!

[ChuckFickens]

Ensure you have sufficient staples to cover your doubled demand for staples.

[cherrychapstick]

Buy bigger staples , think redcr could be right though :)

[trt]

Use Super-glue instead.

''can anyone see it?''

Have you checked under one of those many folds?

[mccfluff]

chuck it was something similar

snag i need someone to hold them up, want to help?

[vivandorron]

I think this is a double fix,
From the Ed who's up to one of his tricks.

He may not have received such a question;
But his staple humour, is of good intention.

Sack him......

[marval]

E-mail them this poem


Pens and pencils, lots of things,
in grey, or black, or yellow.
Nothing in the stationery tin
compares with this young fellow.

I've been to Paris, been to Rome,
I've even been to Naples.
But never have I left without
my thing what spits out staples.

This tiny thing is just the biz,
I think you get the picture.
My favourite desktop item is
my little paper stitcher.

[ChuckFickens]

have I stumbled into poetry corner?

[vivandorron]

Not really....Dare I say...You're out of luck Chuck.!!

Ron.

[Prudie]

Take half the staples out before you use it
