TimC Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Our temp receptionist was ordering supplies last week from Staples.com. I walked by and she wanted a doo-hickey sticky thing that you put on your index finger to help shuffle paper and asked me if I knew what it was called because she didn't know what to put in the search box. I thought "finger condom" but didn't say that as I have no idea. And no, she isn't hawt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
