Free Swingline Optima Desk Stapler - dealnews.com

I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Would this thread make any more sense if it weren’t 5 AM and I weren’t seeing double?

Strange but true - Swingline had never made a red stapler as of the filming of Office Space. I don't know if they started making them now.

They did start making one - they had so many requests.

They sure did... Swingline Red Stapler - 747 Series Stapler, Rio Red Collectors Edition

A buddy of mine at work got one for his desk - spawned a few classic moments for sure.

Does maroon count?

I have a steel maroon colored Swingline that predates Office Space.

You can tell because it has a Long Island City manufacturing stamp on it.

They never made a Swingline in that color until after the movie.

My friend got me a red Swingline a number of years ago. I was going to take it to work, but I know it would be gone in less than an hour.

It really is a great stapler. Heavy and well-built.
