To: All Employees

Subject: Paper Clips
It had come to my attention that some employees will be bending paper
clips nearly every day. A few copy clerks even bended an entire box.
Because of my duty as your supervisor, I would remind you that paper
clips have been expensive. In my ten years of superior wisdom as your
boss, I always gave you a fair deal. I will have given you a fair deal in the
future also, but only if you showed some responsibility. Therefore, I will
begin inspecting the desks in this office this morning. By quitting time, I
will have been checking every single one. If your desk contains a bent
paper clip, you would find yourself out of a job.
