the finality of staples.

I had a discussion with a co-worker today during which I was mildly admonished for my preference for staples over paper clips.

I like staples.
Staples keep folders neat - papers stay where they belong.
I don't appreciate the way paperclips tangle - one to another.
Intermingling. Desperate for companionship.
Paperclips are for pussies.
Staples don't need anyone - they hold their ground.
Seems the confidence - the audacity even - of a good staple is intimidating to some people.
But I am not afraid of the finality of staples.
Bring them on.
