Paige: Come back here, you stupid english essay! I practically killed myself writing you! You're the best work I've ever done! You can't blow away! You can't! Will you stop flopping around and listen to me?!
I kid you not, once when I was working at Micron I had a young gal call up with problems with reading a floppy disk.
She had saved a important college paper on it and than for some bizarre reason deleted it from her computer. Now the disk is the only copy
Come to find out that it was due that day and the night before to make sure she did not forget it she stuck the thing to her refrigerator with a kitchen magnet.
