The other day I decided that I just had to clean up around my computer. So I got a big box, took the lid off, and started to dump stuff in it. I put in a couple of books, a handful of pens and pencils, some old magazines, a couple of spray cans used to clean dust off the computer, and some paper clips. Dumb me! I forgot to check the bottom of the box to make sure it was strong enough to hold everything. Well, you guessed it--I picked it up to move it, and the bottom fell out. The pens and pencils went everywhere; so did the paper clips. The cans rolled across the room, and the magazines went in five different directions. After I taped up the bottom of the box, I spent the next fifteen minutes picking up paper clips, pens and pencils, and magazines. Next time I'll look before I throw stuff in a box.
