The most ickle of the Post-It™ products, the Post-It™ 653 has to be the most irritating piece of office stationery that exists. What possible use is a note pad that measures just 1.375" by 1.875"? You can't rest your hand on it as you write (so you are left clutching the pad between forefinger and thumb of your non-writing hand as you struggle to scribe on the surface) and, as telephone numbers get longer year-by-

year, the pads are simply not up to the task - unless you have particularly ickle handwriting.

Legend has it that the guy who invented the glue on Post-It™ notes was trying to come up with a system for marking pages in his bible for bible study classes. As a result of his efforts, according to 3M at least, we now have a product that has "revolutionized business communication", presumably by becoming lost and confused as they are in my office, resulting in communication using some very un-Christian sentiments and language.
