I'd like to know what testing is done on paperclips. I have several around my house & I'd like to test them.

Do you swallow a bunch of them & then see what happens? Do you straighten them out & poke yourself in the eye or ear? Are they dangerous to use during kinky sex?

Shouldn't we be teaching kids how to safely handle, store & use paperclips, to avoid potential disaster? I'd hate to see a recent graduate die on his/her first day on the job from a deadly first encounter with a paperclip.

How many people are employed at the CPSC testing paper clips? 10? 100? 1,000? How many mice, dogs, & monkeys have died or were maimed testing paper clips?

Finally, why do most worthwhile gov’t programs become a public farce that degenerate into nothing more that a jobs program for relatives, friends, & cronies?

Don't you know?

Paper clips and rubber bands can be lethal.

Violators are being arrested.

Paper clips must be registered and stored in government-approved paper clip safes.

You ask excellent questions, and you ask them with the appropriate spirit of skepticism and ridicule, but you left out the most important question:

How much do these a-holes get paid for DEBATING whether and how to test paperclips?

What a farce. What a complete and total rip-off farce.

Tar and feathers. That's what we need to clean this government out.

Tar and feathers.
