Weapons-Grade Paperclips
I have an immature mind, so when I read advertising blurb for BAE Systems that says “We currently work with a network of over 7,000 British companies who provide everything from the paper clips our employees use to the specialist components for the Type 45 destroyer…”, I have a wonderful image in my mind of a factory that produces weapons-grade paperclips.
Just a musing as I flick through the Economist on Eurostar. It’ll come with no surprise that I read the title of the film “Burn After Reading” as referring to the English town (is this film some sort of hatchet-job on the town?), not the verb for consuming information from a written document.
