an "I love Lucy" moment.

[msfledermaus]

I was reloading a big staple cartridge for a copier with a curator watching me, and it *exploded* in myhand when I accidently pulled the tab the wrong way, spreading staples everywhere.
The giggling on both sides was immediate. It was all I could do not to yell, "Waaaaahhh!, Ricky!!!!"

Ms Mausi, hoping she doesn't have an accident with the shredder next; she kinda likes her shirt today...
