    I don’t even know what a Binder Clip even is.

    I know what a Binder is.

    I know what a Clip is.

    I just come here to look at the pretty pictures and to talk to you, Sir It.

    And I usually learn a thing, or two, in the process.

    Maybe I should just go read the article.

    I can use as many tips as I can get.

    Oh my God!

    Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

    Oh, if I only knew so many more things.

    It really is such a battle.

    Knowing what a Binder Clip is, though, finally, after all these years is helping.

    Cos the next time I see one in action, I am going to stop and say, “That’s a Binder Clip, you know.”

    Whoever is around will probably look at me weird.

    “My friend, Jared, taught me that.”

    And then I’ll smile.
