The Bloodhound Gang

You know those old crime-solver mysteries? The ones where the key piece of evidence was a cryptic letter typed out and sent to throw the investigators in the wrong direction?

It was always the typewriter that foiled their plot. The letter "Y" was always slightly raised above all the other letters. If you found the typewriter, well by golly, you found the perp.

Someone is this office has the typewriter. Well, actually, the stapler.

When I remove the staples for shredding, there is always one staple with its left prong bent all the way through to the front document. It's a bitch to get out.

Just you wait! This Sherlock isn't thrown off that easily! You and your stapler haven't seen the last of me.

Idea: Steal every single stapler, put them on Ebay, you'll most likely get more offers than you did on your camera, buy new staplers and keep the profits.

Or... Demand that every son-of-a-bitch in that joint take out thier own Goddamn staples.

Or not.

LMAO!! That ALMOST beats the masked rogue mouse-ball thief at Jack's office!

I agree, they should remove their own staples. They should go back to the original idea of being relatively paperless, but these are blue collar guys who like paper in their hands.

That's it, I'm just stealing the paper. Solves both in one fell swoop. :-)

The same thing with the raised letter was used in the movie Jagged Edge. Ever seen it?

I would go around to everyone and ask if I could staple something. But that's not a fun answer.
