I used to love the fan-fold paper, back when I was in College.  I worked at a 
place that went through it like crazy, close to a ton every couple of days.  We 
would take it and walk up to a car(of a "friend"), if it was unlocked open the 
door, and start unspooling it.  You could fill a car in a couple of minutes, 
less if you were good and had 14" paper.  This was all used paper with Test 
Data on it so there were no issues.  However if you wanted to get pretty mean 
you packed it in there so they had to remove some just to drive to a trash bin. 
 OK did I mention I was in college, but there was no harm just an 
inconvenience.  Oh and it was especially fun to do to someone that was on a 
date.

  The only reason I own a flip-top pocket lighter is to hold it up at
concerts.  (For lighting fireworks, I use one of those wands.)

  I think I can honestly lay claim to all but the " Seeing Pages and
Pages of Phone S*x Ads in the Back of Free City Weeklies", and that's
because I grew up in rural NH and didn't have any free city weeklies
available.  I might have only done some of those things once, but I've
done them.

  Some I still do all the time.  Many of our customers and suppliers
still use fax constantly.  And some of our test equipment uses
floppies.

  Just last Friday I was at a customer's site, and saw an old box of
fan-fold sprocket-fed paper they had in a corner.  They used it for
scrap paper.  I had to tear off a sheet and then fold-and-tear the
edges, just for old time's sake.
