    LMAO . . . Ah yes . . . the unfaithful stapler . .always 'running out' on you . . . try tying a strong string around the stapler and then your neck . . . then the stapler will NEVER 'run out' too far from you! HAHA!

    It's a form of planned obsolescence. Staples are designed to evaporate so you always have to buy more.

    hmm
    I suppose that the garlic I harvested doesn't qualify as a staple?

    Anyway, I need to hang it to dry/cure as soon as I finish milling the walnut wainscoting............maybe this evening.
    I'm pretty tired of breathing walnut dust, I much prefer cherry.

    You ever thought of making a staple return much like they have ball returns and pin setters? Surely between those two yo u can figure out how to remove a stapler without looking like a retard trying to reuse one with those old school vampire teeth.

    Keep 2 staplers. Use 1 until empty then use the other & always fill the empty 1 as soon as you can.

    I try to have 2 or 3 of things most people think they need only 1 of. Specially if I can get them on clearance or other special prices.
    I had 3 pair of scissors when 1 broke. I found a mug I like very much & bought 2. When 1 breaks or wears out, I will yet have 1. 2 backpacks were marked down to $10 each from probably $60 or $80. 1 was great for years & now I am using the other. I have 2 hammers. 2 each of various wenches. 2 each of every socket size, etc.
    I never run out of coffee, light bulbs, batteries, etc.
