Paperclips are vital today’s modern lifestyle, without them we wouldn't be able to clip bits of paper together. Surely this would result in things being disorganised and end in an orgy of blood, sweat and fingernails.
But is it true that paperclips can lead to a greater level of success in life, are paperclips indeed, the key to success?
Think of the most successful person you know, Richard Branson, The Queen, that bloke who cleans your car for a pound. None of them would be where they are today if it hadn't been for paperclips. Here is my rundown of successful people in an attempt to prove that paperclips make you successful:
Bill Gates is the Microsoft wizard who has a large fortune from computer software. However Mr Gates forgot to mention that the day before presenting the first version of windows to 'the boss' the power cable in the computer snapped and he almost lost everything. Using his initiative and comically oversized glasses he scanned the room and found a paperclip. He wrapped the paperclip around the rip in the wire and was able to make the machine work, little do the public know Bill Gates owes his millions to a paperclip that cost just 3p from a local stationary store down the road.
George Bush, living proof we descended from chips, is one of the world’s most powerful men with an arsenal of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons behind him. But how did he get into such a position? I think you know the answer, it is indeed with paperclips. When running for president he used weak paperclips to clip the results from each state together. When the results were counted it seemed he had lost but overnight the weak paperclip game way and the vote count for Florida fell out of the pile and was carried away by an ill-times gust of wind. George Bush's P.A. didn't want to get the sack and so made the vote count for Florida up, incidentally winning the election for Mr Bush and making him president of the USA. He wouldn't be where he is today without that untrustworthy paperclip.
The Queen, one of England greatest and most powerful rulers in an impostor and owes her entire wealth and lush lifestyle to paperclips. The Queen, or Benita Del Queenio, is a Mexican immigrant who came to England at the time of the coronation. The authorities were onto her but she burrowed into Buckingham Palace with some paperclips she stole from a blind shopkeeper and emerged in the REAL queens dressing room. The queen was shocked and threatened to call security so good old Benita tied her up and stole her clothes. She came out of the dressing room and was escorted to be crowned queen of England, when the security guards found the REAL queen tied up in the dressing room the realised they would lose their jobs over this breach in security and chucked her majesty into the Thames, never to be found again. The Royal family accepted Benita into their loving grasp, except Price Harry who was too stoned to notice anything. So Benita Del Queenio turned from Mexican immigrant to ruler supreme due to paperclips.
Richard Branson is one of the world’s richest entrepreneurs but he secretly owes his fame and fortune to paperclips. When making his debut flight in his hot air balloon to gain fame, he encountered a problem. The fuel duct began leaking and the balloon began going down, he used a paperclip to tie the fuel duct back together and live to tell the tale. The balloon flight got him popularity and soon people were buying anything with the Virgin logo on it. He owes his millions, international airline, rail links, soft drink chain and Holiday Company to one little paperclip that saved his life.
Gareth Gates is one of the biggest names in pop; competing in Pop Idol and getting a record contract were all in actual fact due to a paperclip related incident. His instantly recognisable lisp made him popular with crowds but he wasn’t born with a lisp at all. When Gareth was a young boy, some of his schoolyard chums were having a fight with paperclips and rubber bands. Little Timmy Jenkinson flicked a paperclip off his rubber band and as it hurtled towards Gareth Gates, he opened his mouth causing the paperclips to get lodged at the back of his tongue giving him a lisp. The very same lisp that led him to Pop Idol victory, and landed him a recording deal making him very rich.
So there you have it folks, conclusive evidence that paperclips bring about victory and success in life. Paperclips are certainly the key to success. Thanks for reading and thank you to Rickoss for setting me this God-awful challenge.
