Answer Me This

What is up with the nail clipper gremlins?

You know, I've bought at least 2,485,923 pairs of nail clippers in my life already. Can I invest in some nail clipper stock?

Where do the gremlins take them? I'm a little disconcerted at my vision of Clipper Land. Gremlins jumping off diving boards into pools of nail clippers. Gremlins gleefully sledding down hills of nail clippers. Gremlins chugging pilsners full of nail clippers.

Some nail clippers come with little chains when you buy them. You know the ones. I'm afraid to chain it onto something. What if when I wake up, not only are my nail clippers gone, but what I had them chained to has disappeared as well.

I just bought a new pair. I'm going to put them into a small box, tie that box up with ribbon, and keep it on me at all times. Soon I will open the box and check to see if the gremlins have studied up on Houdini.

Man, I'm sleepy.
