One of the funniest, and most quotable movies in the last ten years was "Office Space." And one of my favorite parts of the movie is the whole "Milton's Red Stapler." We all remember the line "I believe that's my stapler, it was a swingline..." Ha-Ha, that was great. Well, I did some research on the history of this famous stapler. It seems that when the movie was being made, the person in charge of props wanted to give the Milton character an object that was so important to him, it would cause him to go completely insane and burn down an entire building when his boss, the notorious "Lumberg," steals it from him. Well, what better than a bright red Swingline stapler. The only problem was, Swingline didn't make any red staplers. So the designer contacted Swingline and asked if it would be ok to put their logo on a stapler that he had painted red. Swingline agreed, and the rest is history.
