    I was wondering who took my stapler! LOL! :bbg: I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the mechanics of the stapler, but hopefully it will help you to know that you are not alone! ;)

    Now, put the stapler down and back.... away.... from.... the.... stapler....tomorrow is a new day! :bbg:

    Why do pills take 30 minutes to start working? I'll bet the staplers on the space shuttle work perfect. I like you Heather! I'm OK now....:)

    30 Minutes, hell your lucky, mine usually take an hour or more and by then the reason I needed them doesn't matter.

    The reason the space shuttle staplers work so well is they cost a million dollars. And why are you playing with a stapler in a bar? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Cause the spring is stretched less at the end and has less pressure forcing the staples in place.

    Let gravity do the work of the spring, Hold the stapler upside down to use the last few.

    ...or was it rhetorical? :D

    Hey, good idea! I'm not in a bar guys, I had to swear off on those many years ago. The staples come in "bars" that you slide into your stapler(ask Braheem-he knows). I'll have to invent a progressive stapler spring that does a better job, or a pneumatic one that has a hose connected to it(or little CO2 cartridges like my pellet pistol)-that would work. I could save businesses across the planet millions in savings on staples. I have to work now.
