I Believe You Have My Stapler

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the chisel-point dept.

yack0 writes "After three years of demand and countless calls, emails and letters, you can finally buy a Red Swingline Stapler. Hooray! As noted in this wall street journal article and confirmed by this page at the Swingline Stapler web site you can now pick up a Red Swingline stapler for merely twice the price of a plain black stapler. However, a colleague of mine says that the online order form is reading around $16 for his right now. Now all the cubicle dwelling prairie dogs can get one step closer to burning down the building." The red stapler has become some sort of cult icon at this point.

    How come /. still hasn't posted a single article about the passing of Gene Kan, but somehow a red stapler makes it to the front page???

      I submitted a story about this,but as usual...
      rejected in record time (2 minutes). Nice to know
      that staplers are more important than one of the
      best and brightest blowing his brains out at 25...
      but I digress......

    The sad part is I know what this means. HP printers do that if you picked the wrong size paper when you printed, e.g. A4 when all the printer has is 8.5x11.
