It's the same with tractor printer paper. It's maddening when you're always printing official forms.

Why are packaging engineers so evil? For example:
Why do they make the cellophane bag of Oreos so brittle that by opening the packaging you destroy it to the point that you are forced to eat all the Oreos in one sitting?
What magical property of the little cardboard tab-slot on the top of my cereal box makes it so difficult to use without destroying it?
Why must bagged salad be so difficult to open by hand that one often causes the bag to become a greens-grenade?
What mystical force prevents one from properly closing a cardboard pizza box with only one hand?
Why is entropy so cruel that the glass ketchup bottle makes it either tantalizingly unpourable or a tragic incarnadine fountain?
Why do "easy open" containers never open easily, nor ever close again?
Why would one make the little cheese powder packet in my mac-and-cheese so flimsy that shaking the packet just prior to opening makes it detonate duste de fromage all over my kitchen?
What horrible law of coincidence requires that our Helen Keller fire-alarm go off just as my wife is opening a new bag of flour?

Gee Dukka, sounds like all of lifes most troubling perplexities revolve around food preparation, I think if I had that much trouble making dinner I would never eat @ home again. Let someone else shoulder the burden of spreading chhese powder and flour all over their kitchen.

"What is the turtle standing on?"
Four elephants. Or is the other way around? I've only read a couple of Pratchett novels.

Infinite is a very long way.

That makes more sense than the guy standing on nothing holding up the world against the irresistible pull of nothing.
