You Won't Believe What I Overheard....

Coworker on the phone... "You know, that twisted metal wire thing that you use to clip papers together?"

*boggles*

Okay....I know that some people aren't technical. At. All. I'm getting used to some people not being able to comprehend "Press the power button".

But how HOW HOW can anyone in the last what...hundred years NOT know what a paperclip is?

Edit: I ran a search...Paperclips as we know them were invented in 1899...a little history right....about....HERE
