*The Paper Clip*
<img src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/t/ti/tijmen/468491_paperclip.jpg" />
Perhaps the most underrated office supply ever.
We all know what it is used for, Heck the NAME itself tells where to use it and what it does....
••BUT••
What about ALL the OTHER things we use them for???
Me and a buddy were discussing this today.
Humor Me...
Tell me the strangest, most off the wall thing you have MacGyver'd up with the Mighty Swiss Army Knife of the Office Supplies Realm?

Scraped resin? Smoked small amounts of hash off of. I dunno, I must've used one for something better than that.

They're great for getting a CD out of the drive if it's stuck, or back in the day getting the old floppy disk out.

I had a friend that rigged up a hammock with a sheet and a shit ton of paper clips. He cant sleep on floors and everyone passed out on all the couches in the area, so he spent 3 hours rigging it up and searching the floor blindly for extra paper clips. Needless to say we made fun of him in the morning for his dedication. His gamertag on xbox live is McGuyver (spelled wrong, I know, but someone already owns the correct spelling), and it's well deserved.
