Things to Do With a Chip Clip

Use a chip clip to:

1. Play fetch with your puppy.
2. Hold up the pants of those silly adolescents who think sagging is cool. Maybe if their underwear went down with their pants, they wouldn't think it was so cool.
3. Chase someone around, pretending you're an alligator that's going to bite their butt.
4. Hold your origami in place as you work.
5. Give the dog a new reason to chase his tail.
6. Hold up your hair while you're working around the house.
7. Fight early pregnancy nausea, or cut up an onion.

8. Hold your shirt up on the side, 80's style.
9. Scratch your initials in the bark of a tree. This may take a while, but it's safer than a knife. I've never heard of anyone losing a finger to a chip clip.
10. Replace your broken dresser handle with style.
11. Handle unwanted or toxic substances without touching them.
12. Keep pressure on a bleeding finger-wound.
13. Launch a projectile at your neighbor, like a catapult. This only works with small objects like spitballs.
14. Launch a projectile at your neighbor (the whole chip clip, thrown).
15. Hold together the edges of your comforter for the perfectly turned-down bed.
16. Make a fashion statement.

17. Create fun and unique craft projects, like ornaments that don't need hangers.
18. Pluck hairs, such as nosehairs or eyebrows.
19. Scale a cliffside (use the clip as a gripper).
20. Clip up a basset hound's ears so he won't trip on them anymore.

C'mon, gimme some more!
