Am I the only person who understands that when you staple a bunch of sheets together, you put them all in the stack so that the staple is in top of the sheet? This rule holds true when the sheets are printed in a "horizontal" fashion. Staple goes on the top left, and the sheets are arranged so that the staple is in the top.

That is correct, sir, as one who staples waaaay to many copies.

*A scary moment: Ms Fledermaus brandishing a stapler. They give me utility knives, too..the fools.*

Soooo..someone has a prob with not getting the staple on the top page or sumthing?*grin*
I can see how that might be difficult for some people...

Ms Eff, who has a *big* electronic stapler that sounds very scary when it goes *Ka-CHUNGGGG!*

I heard a stapling story this morning when I was driving Mike and his friend, Nyssa, to school. Nyssa says she went to a German Immersion school. In Kindergarten, she was messing around with an electric staple gun. Her teacher was yelling at her in German to stop. Nyssa didn't understand German very well yet so she just smiled and launched several staples in the teacher's direction. Now if you ask me, you don't need to know German to understand the teacher's tone of voice or know that you shouldn't be doing what you're doing.

Kindergarteners. What can ya do?

I run into that lack-of-understanding-body language thing all the time. Kids nowdays are so intent on hearing/understanding/following the exact words you say - they're playing little lawyers, so they can pull crap like, "but you said I just had to watch him, not keep him out of trouble!" that they haven't learned to interpret body language.

If you saw the leader of your group, way behind you, jumping up and down and waving his arms at you, in the distance, but you couldn't hear what he was yelling, what would you do? Well I can tell you from experience, that fourteen year old boys will shrug their shoulders and walk on ahead, because they can't understand what you were yelling.
