yeah, i know this is random. but, someone at work swore that there was a technical name for the office supply that you use to remove staples. you know, it kinda looks like a crocodile mouth. ha ha. yeah, so, i thought it was just called a staple remover. what do you guys call it? :)

One of the girls that used to work at my office called it a "decleeter." (I have NO idea how to spell it). I just Googled to see if I could find anything under that spelling and there is nothing so I don't know where she came up with that name. Is this what you are referring to?

Whatever they are called, I couldn't get by a day without one. Mine looks exactly like the one Pam has pictured. I also have a *spare* just in case I can't find the first one.

I've always called it a staple remover too. I just assumed that was the proper name and it looks like it is!

I always use to play with my manager's staple remover. I would cut out evil eyes & a snake tongue, so it lookd like an evil Cobra..

She loved it, but she needed ot use it & the stickers fell off.
