No, I'm glad you had a laugh at that! It makes me feel like the Hulk or something, I was shocked when it broke. (You won't like me when I'm angry, paperclips tremble at my approach!) And it is pretty funny, when you think about it. I even texted my husband that I had just destroyed a whole paperclip, and I am keeping the piece in my desk to remind me of being irrational. LOL.
