More Thoughts on Stapling

I like the way staples sound when you staple through a thick piece of paper.  I don't mean stapling through a thick stack of papers, that's just a pain in the ass.  I mean like through a thick piece of regular paper...like a thick magazine cover.  It makes this really cool crunching sound as the staple pierces it and then there are the subsequent crunches of the staple itself contorting into the mold on the bottom.  Did you know that on some staplers you can reverse the bottom molding and staple things so that the hook parts hook outward instead of inwards?  I didn't know that until I recently found myself playing with my stapler.  I don't know why you would want to do that because it really interferes with the paper-fold-over I blogged about like a month or two ago.  Surgical staples are pretty cool, but only the way they remove them really.  I have to admit I was pretty scared when the time came to remove all my staples, but they have this really cool staple-remover and they just pop out effortlessly, and more importantly, painlessly.  I almost want more just so I can watch them take them out.  This does not hold true for catheters however.  Ugh.
