Why Won't It Work?

I loaned my electric stapler to a co-worker in need this afternoon.

Did you know that a manual stapler will not automatically staple paper when you shove the pages into it's mouth, no matter how long you hold them there?

That just sucks, doesn't it?
Maybe that's why it's called 'manual' . .

It's amazing how jaded we can become from modern technology.

Renee and Amanda - I am very spoiled. :)

Yes, I know this. But give me an old American made manual stapler, if you can find one, and I will bet you it still works , and well at that.

Anonymous - They don't let you down, that's for sure. However, when you staple as much as I do, I like them new-fangled gadgets.
