Curse these infernal metal contraptions. Gork understands their purpose, simple though it is, and yet they elude Gork. Infuriating! They are meant for a simple purpose, to clip and hold small stacks of paper together to prevent loss or shuffling. Why must they be so small. Gork can barely poke his thumb into the little plastic holder on his desk. Every time Gork need one he has to pick the holder up off the desk and shake it until a clip tumbles out. Orc-kind are not known for finesse; inevitably several clips spill over onto Gork’s desktop, forcing him to paw at them for minutes on end.

If only Gork were still allowed a stapler. It was only one cat.
