If my father were still alive he would appreciate your story. Working as some sort of office clerk as a teenager, his boss asked him to put some papers (invoices?) "in numerical order". So he sets to work. About ten minutes later, the boss comes in and says "Numerical order, you know, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . ."

I don't get it.

Remember carbon paper? That stuff was awesome. Also: mimeographs. The aroma!!!! The warmth!!!!! The amazing spinning machine!!!!

I used to love mimeograph machines. The smell was distinctive.

I'm sure ncs will set me straight if I'm wrong about this, but I believe a trapper keeper is a 3-ring binder. Perhaps with plastic rings, but 3-ring nonetheless.

I am not the trapper-keeper timmy, but you are correct.

Someone else here pointed out the difference between the trapper keeper (the binder part) and the trappers (folders that fit in the binder) recently.

Carry on.



ETA: I just (re)learned that ABBA didn't watch tv or listen to music as a kid because her parents were a bit heavy-handed in the rule enforcement. (April 3, 2003)*



*At this rate, I'll hit May 2003 sometime in February 2007.

Right. The first years at whatever law firm is hired to sue your out-of-the-law company.

Nevermind.

I just like saying "I'm out of the law gig." It's sort of a love-letter to Sebby.

I think I was the one who brought up trapper keepers in the first place during that thread though, so there you are.

How illiterate do you have to be to have a big file (notebook) labeled "2005 Chron" filled with letters filed alphabetically by last name of recipient?

is the sender's name Chron?

I like it. Maybe I'll join you in applying it heavily in a bit.

I would have assumed that it was coorespondence with people over at the Houston Chronicle had I picked up the file.

I like trapper keepers. I think a better example tho would have been the 2 hole punch pleadings burnt sienna looking things......

I have other friends who are couples. That story was not about ncs/Mr. Man. I'm sorry if this is a disappointment to you.
