The paper clip a classic tool used to keep papers together. They function in such a way that they do not puncture the paper, unlike their arch rival the staple. Paper clips are also reusable. This is very important since we live in such a polluted world, we should be reusing everything we possibly can. Staples are one time deal, once you hear the click of a stapler, you just wasted a very tiny piece of metal.
Another cool thing about the paper clip is its' versatility. Most of us have heard of MacGyver, the extremely resourceful secret agent. For him, the paper clip was a very popular multi-tool often kept on him at all times. There are a number of ways a paper clip can be used, including: zipper tab, cherry pit remover, fingernail cleaner, emergency corkscrew (for your emergency drinking needs), miniature catapult, and my favorite, let the air out of someone else's tires when he parks across multiple spaces. Not to mention making chains. Probably the most important use of the paper clip is saving lives. It's a very serious business.
Overall, I firmly believe the paper clip is the wave of the future. Next time you reach for that stapler, just think about how you are polluting and denying somebody the simple joy of letting the air out of someone else's tires.
